Liverpool appear to have an interest in Lens defender Kevin Danso having watched him in action over the weekend.
That is according to 90Min, who report that Liverpool were among the scouts in attendance to watch Lens against Marseille.
Lens continued their superb season with a fine win and they now risk losing some of their top players.
It’s stated that scouts were in attendance to watch midfielder Seko Fofana and striker Lois Openda alongside defender Danso.
Liverpool appear to be interested in all three and the links to Danso are pretty interesting.
Liverpool could move on Joe Gomez or Joel Matip this summer and free up room for another centre back to come in.
Many rumours have surrounded left-footed defenders but Danso would be an option on the right side.
Danso has played exclusively as a centre back this summer but has played as a right back at times.
That may give Liverpool a more defensive option as cover for Trent Alexander-Arnold, with that versatility potentially key.
Who is Kevin Danso?
Danso moved to Milton Keynes at the age of just six and was born in Austria to Ghanaian parents.
Danso spent time in the Reading youth ranks before heading to Milton Keynes Dons.
The defender built up a friendship with Dele Alli with the Dons as they came through the ranks together.
Danso left MK Dons a year before Alli, heading to Germany with Augsburg as the German club spotted his potential.
Danso continued to show promise in Germany and Southampton took him on loan in 2019, but the spell didn’t quite work out.
Lens snapped Danso up in 2021 and he has now kicked on to become a star under Lens boss Franck Haise.
Haise has hailed Danso as a ‘leader’ during their time together and has made him a key part of an impressive Lens team.
A move to the Premier League does seem to be on the cards as Fabrizio Romano claimed in April that talks between his representatives and clubs in England took place.
Liverpool could now position themselves in the race for Danso, but a centre back may need to move on first.
