Liverpool conceded goals on regular basis and their weak defense was one of the main factors why they could not challenge for the Premier League title last season.
Yesterday, one of our team members covered an article claiming that the Merseysiders must focus on signing a top center half in the form of Virgil van Dijk first and then pursue other stars.
If the latest reports are anything to go by then the 26-year-old former Celtic defender is ready to sign for the Anfield club and wants to push through a move.
According to Mirror, Southampton want to keep Van Dijk but he has told the club that he is prepared to leave and only wants to sign for the Merseysiders this summer.

The British source says that due to Virgil’s willingness to leave, Southampton may not get the maximum price for him.
However, not so long ago, Express exclusively reported that the Saints have told Klopp that he needs to pay 70 million pounds ($90million) to sign the Netherlands defender.
Van Dijk was solid at the back in the first half of last season but his campaign ended in January because of a foot injury. He made 30 appearances and scored 4 goals under the management of Claude Puel.

In todays market id say hes worth about £40 mill
70m for def, even lukaku cost 75m for MU. I agree 40m shud be more than enough van Dijk
Whatever, just go and sign the most important played that LFC need. I’m sure the rest will follow, but we still need a quality bully to lead the line. Take advice from the great Shankly, build the team through the middle, Shanks was ahead of his time.r
Liverpool should buy another 2 or 3 top rated strikers. Last season proved that they still poor finishing, eventhough have good at middle. Never mind the defends. Please go for new LUIS SUAREZ.
