In Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson, Liverpool have two of the best full-backs in world football. Boasting assists galore, the pair are vital to the Reds’ style both offensively and defensively.
As a result, considering they are aged 23 and 28 respectively, have both been first-choice since 2018 and are under contract until 2025 and 2026, Jurgen Klopp has rarely had to dip his toes into the transfer market in terms of acquiring new full-backs. However, it has also left the Reds biding their time when it comes to signing the right back-up option to either player.
The German has only signed nine defenders during his time in the Anfield hotseat, with Liverpool parting with £147.75m to bring in such players since his arrival in October 2015. Over half of that total was spent on Virgil van Dijk.
