As the Premier League season kicks off today, Liverpool remains without a new signing, with just 24 hours before their first match against Ipswich Town. Manager Arne Slot has yet to add to his squad, but that could change soon.
Reports from journalist David Lynch suggest that Liverpool is eyeing Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri as a potential addition before the transfer window closes. The left-back position has been a concern for the Reds, with both Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas struggling with fitness issues last season.
While Joe Gomez can fill in as a left-back, Liverpool is keen on bringing in a natural left-footer who can both defend solidly and contribute to the attack. Ait-Nouri, who impressed under Wolves manager Gary O’Neil last season with 33 Premier League appearances, seems to fit the bill.
After missing out on a midfielder like Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi, Liverpool has shifted its focus to bolstering the defense. Strengthening the left-back position has become a priority, and Ait-Nouri is now at the top of their list.
While fans are hoping for a reliable center-back to pair with Virgil Van Dijk, it appears that Liverpool may not make many more signings before the window closes. The addition of Ait-Nouri could provide the defensive reinforcement they need as they embark on a new campaign.
