If reports in the media are anything to go by then Liverpool have moved in and inquired about two left backs, which confirms that Jurgen Klopp seriously wants a new fullback to strengthen his back line.
We recently covered a report (via Bild) claiming that the Reds have made a contract offer to Schalke star Sead Kolasinac, who will be available for a free transfer this summer.
On the other hand, reports in Spain (Cadena Ser) suggest that the Merseysiders have inquired about signing a young left back in the form of French international Theo Hernandez.
The 19-year-old defender is under contract with Atletico Madrid and currently, he is playing on loan for Deportivo Alaves. This season, in 23 league games, Theo has provided 4 assists.
Back in September 2016, I was present at the Nou Camp when Alaves defeated Barcelona and Hernandez was one of the top performers for the visitors.
The youngster was strong in the air and also impressive against Arda Turan, who started on the right wing for the Catalan giants. Messi and Suarez were introduced in the second half but could not turn the tie around as Alaves won 2-1 on the night.
As per the provided Cadena Ser link, the teenage starlet has a release clause of 24 million euros ($26million) in his contract and the likes of Barca, Real, Bayern, Man City and Marseille are also interested in signing him.
This season, James Milner has done well as a fullback but Klopp needs a natural LB who could serve the club in the long run. In your opinion, should Liverpool sign Kolasinac or Hernandez?

would be n good fit but for now its only speculation as n Liverpool supporter I would love to see us sign sugardson of Swansea and another solid holding midfielder also would love to see Allan play next season ynwa
I Would be extremely happy with either but the only advantage I can see between the 2
Of them is Kolasinac is available on a free transfer which allows Klopp to use that money
He saved on another player !!! Also Matip played with Kolasinac at schalke so has that connection
Already ?
You could almost sign both and have some decent competition for the LB spot, especially as Kolasinac is on a free. Both are also fairly versatile from all reports, so he could also play one in another spot such as LM or CB.
