The Monaco full-back would be a useful addition for Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp manager

There might just be somewhat of a defensive reshuffle at Liverpool this summer.

Alberto Moreno has already left on a free transfer, whilst Nathaniel Clyne has been linked with a move to Crystal Palace, according to a report from Team Talk.

Spanish media outlet Sport claims that Jurgen Klopp is attempting to rectify his left-back shortage by signing Augsburg ace Philipp Max.

Links to any new right-back signings, however, are so far yet to materialise.

And with this in mind, Liverpool should consider a move for Monaco ace Djibril Sidibe.

Pace

The 26-year-old possesses blistering pace. He is also an expert tackler, and his tenacious playing style would make him ideally suited to the intense nature of the Premier League.

Attacking intent

The 18-capped France international is just as useful going forward as he is defensively. His game is built on making tireless runs up and down the right hand flank, and this would see him slot perfectly into Klopp’s setup at Anfield.

Availability and experience

According to a report from France Football, the Monaco ace is available this summer for just €15 million (£13.4 million), and for someone who is so experienced and possesses real quality, that would represent excellent value for money for Liverpool.

Trent Alexander-Arnold will, of course, be the Reds’ first-choice right-back, but Sidibe would be a really useful alternative to the young Englishman, and would at the very least provide stiff competition for him.
