Liverpool fans have called on Jurgen Klopp to snap up Clement Lenglet.
Liverpool fans on Twitter were loving Manchester United’s Champions League defeat by Sevilla on Tuesday for two reasons.
Not only did the Reds’ arch-rivals suffer the relative ignominy of being dumped out of Europe’s elite competition at the last-16 stage, but fans of the Anfield club also believe that they spotted a potential gem.
Clement Lenglet was hugely impressive for the Spanish side, and Liverpool supporters can really appreciate a brilliant centre-back performance when they see one, by virtue of the fact that their central defenders down the years have posted some truly shocking ones.
The 22-year-old certainly looked like a rising star at Old Trafford on Tuesday, and quite a few fans of the Merseyside outfit have called on manager Jurgen Klopp to sign him up this summer.
Lenglet is only valued at around £15 million according to Transfermarkt, but surely that figure is well wide of the mark after impressing on such a huge stage.
Klopp has a number of decent centre-halves at his disposal, but ‘decent’ won’t do next season. The German manager needs another top-drawer option to partner Virgil van Dijk and maybe, just maybe, Lenglet could be an option.
