Liverpool's main position to strengthen named – not just central midfield

Liverpool will focus on signing a midfielder or two... and a centre-back, reveals Goal's Neil Jones.

In particular, the Reds 'would love another signing like Virgil van Dijk', he notes.

In the past few months, Liverpool have scouted Benfica's Antonio Silva (19) and Sporting Lisbon's Gonzalo Inacio (21). They are described as 'ball-playing, physically robust defenders'.

The Reds also target Josko Gvardiol, Nayef Aguerd, Perr Schuurs, Jarrad Branthwaite and Levi Colwill.

As a reminder, Liverpool are expected to sell Nat Phillips in the summer.
