Liverpool are interested in signing Dani Carvajal from Real Madrid this summer, according to Spanish publication Don Balon.

With Nathaniel Clyne injured, youngsters Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez have been filling in but apparently manager Jurgen Klopp still wants to add another right-back to his ranks.

Better option elsewhere?

If this is the case then instead of targeting Carvajal, should the Reds boss consider Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin – who is said to be “fuming” by talkSPORT after being dropped for the 2-1 Premier League defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion?

Bellerin also wasn’t included as the Gunners beat AC Milan 2-0 in the first-leg of their Europa League last-16 match on Thursday (March 8) after picking up a knee injury after coming off the bench against Brighton.

There had been reports that the Spain international would return to Barcelona, where he started out as a youth player, but Mundo Deportivo claim the Catalans aren’t interested.

So with plenty of experience in the top flight, huge amounts of pace and athleticism and a desire to leave the Emirates Stadium, could Bellerin be a better choice for Klopp than fellow countryman Carvajal?
