Liverpool Keeping Tabs on Real Sociedad Defender Diego Llorente Ahead of Potential January Swoop

Liverpool are scouting Real Sociedad defender Diego Llorente ahead of making a potential bid in January.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is keen on adding further depth to his squad during the upcoming transfer window, and Llorente has emerged as one of the star performers in La Liga since moving to Real Sociedad on a five-year deal last summer.

Llorente came up through the youth ranks at Real Madrid, briefly breaking into the first team setup at the Santiago Bernabeu in 2013. However, after making just two further appearances in two seasons, he was sent out on loan to Rayo Vallecano and Malaga, where he gained valuable first team experience.
