Liverpool had a very shaky defense last season and to solve that dilemma, manager Jurgen Klopp has splashed the cash to reinforce the back line this summer.
The German manager has signed two new central defenders by hiring the services of Cameroonian star Joel Matip from Schalke and Estonian international Ragnar Klavan from Augsburg.
Not to forget, the former Borussia Dortmund boss has signed a new goalkeeper as well by luring Loris Karius.
Reports suggest that Klopp is still looking to further strengthen his defense and a certain French international is in the limelight.
The Sun cite reports in the French media claiming that Klopp is chasing the signature of 19-year-old Lyon defender Jordy Gaspar.
The teenage starlet is a versatile defender who is mainly a left back but can effectively operate in the right back position as well. Last season, he featured in seven UEFA Youth league games and provided two assists (Transfermarkt).
As per the provided Sun link, Gaspar has told L’Equipe that he is tempted by the idea of moving to Anfield and playing under the management of Klopp.
In your opinion, should the Reds sign Jordy Gaspar?

I believe Jonas or Willem’s are more experience but do not write of moreno just yet he still young and will get better and we are LFC we stand behind our players supporters and every one associated with us so stick to ynwa that’s what we are about get behind every player good or bad we will succeed
Surely Moreno knew he had to hit the ground defending properly after last season and not just the Seville game , but after our early morning game which I watched his every move , it was the same old . Perhaps playing with complacency with the boss& transfer committee not getting anyone else in . With Joe being injured at the mo and Flanno probably going out on loan I really think we need a class LB , to me Jonas Hector should be the one he’s worth 20 million of any of John Henry’s dollars , this player is class I watched every ball he received and gave off , he’s a top top player . And we knew then we need a guy of his class as we are L.F.C
The problem is that if we go into the new season with two or three very injury-prone strikers and a dodgy LB we’ll end up not scoring many goals, the LB issue could cost us dear and we could be eight points behind the so-called top teams after a similar number of games. Then, if United, City, Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea get that sort of start over us we can wave the CL goodbye for next year and all because the manager has a fetish for buying attacking midfielders whilst we are stuck with three strikers none of whom will get twenty games in this year due to injury and a LB who is mistake-prone and couldn’t defend to save his life!
Sorry, we all love Klopp but his inability to see the weaknesses in the team – thinking buying yet more midfielders will solve every problem from Brexit to my lack of a formidable sexual prowess – is going to cost us dear.
We are starting the summer with a huge war chest of money but have only spent £62m so far whilst, if Benteke and a few other go, we’ll have taken up to a hundred million IN without having touched our war chest!
When we are supposed to be catching the other teams up and then overtaking them how are we supposed to do that if we end the summer nearly £40m better-off than we started it (if Benteke and a few others leave)? Spend just over sixty million but get a hundred million coming in and refuse to buy a new striker we can rely on? Madness, sheer madness.
Mind you there’s still rumours about us getting some Portuguese midfielder and Sissoko . . . another bloody midfielder . . . and STILL we’ll look weak up front!
