Liverpool are Closing in on Rock Solid Signing after Confirmation From his Rep that Star Wants PL Move

Liverpool have already signed one defender in the form of Joe Gomez and are also looking to secure another in Nathaniel Clyne.
However, that is not it, the latest reports suggest that Liverpool are closing in to sign Monaco’s rock solid center back Aymen Abdennour.
As per the provided Metro link, Reds have been in talks with the defender whose agent has confirmed that the Tunisian is interested in PL or La Liga move. As of now, there is not real interest from any Spanish side. West Ham were interested but move to Hammers is not happening as his agent claimed:

“Abdennour wants to play in the Premier League or La Liga, not in Italy.”
“The path leading to West Ham is closed,”

The 25 year old star missed certain games because of injury and national duty during the African Cup of Nations but was part of Monaco’s solid defense all season. Monaco conceded only a single goal in the Champions League group stage.
Moreover, Abdeynnour featured 18 times in the league last season and helped the team keep 10 clean sheets in those games.
Whether or not Liverpool will sign him, we shall see but Reds really do not need another center back when they already have the likes of Skrtel, Sakho, Toure and Lovren for the first team squad.
Instead, Liverpool must focus on bringing in a top quality goalscorer. Someone like Gonzalo Higuain will surely set the mood.
