Having seen failures in attempt to sign Bundesliga centre-halves Neven Subotic and Joel Matip, Liverpool have shifted their attention towards QPR defender Steven Caulker in an effort to solve their defensive injury crisis.
The Reds have made an emergency bid to sign the former Cardiff player, per Chris Bascombe of The Telegraph.
Caulker, 24, is currently on a season-long loan at Southampton from QPR, but he has struggled for regular games in Ronald Koeman’s side.
Klopp was keen to add an experienced defender to the side after the series of injuries to his centre-backs in the past few weeks.
