Dejan Lovren raised the curtain of his six years at Liverpool when he joined Zenit St Petersburg last month.
Although not universally popular with reds’ fan base, the Croatian alien was, however, a player that Jurgen Klopp turned to, either as a regular starter or as a rotating player, and will have to be replaced before next season.
Several players, including Brighton’s Ben White, Schalke’s Ozan Kabak and Diego Carlos of Seville, have been connected to a movement to Anfield, but Liverpool’s quest for its central quarter will take them north of the border.
Recently, rumours have begun to circulate that the current English champions are interested in The Norwegian Kristoffer Ajer of Celtic.
The imposing central environment, which is in a haunting 6’6″ cloud, has been a regular starter for the Bhoys since the 2017/2018 season and has won over enthusiasts across the continent for its sublime taste for ball play and its remarkable physical attributes.
Milan has been discussed as a contender for the 22-year-old, but Liverpool, who wants another central defender to praise Joel Matip, Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk, can simply throw their hat into the ring by Kilmarnock’s former lender.
A proactive and intelligent defender, the Norwegian would adapt well to Klopp’s taste for playing at Anfield.
In the Europa League last season, a larger indicator for measuring defenders coming from the Scottish department given the paintings they are likely to do more on the continent than in the country, given the dominance of their home, has an average of 1.9 interceptions and 1.9 tackles.per game.
On the ball too, Ajer, a former offensive midfielder and central midfielder, excels and is a prerequisite for a Liverpool who builds his attacks from behind.
In Celtic’s first two Scottish Premier League games, his number 35 contributed 1.3 key passes consistent with the game (assists leading to shots) and controlled 91% of his pass attempts, many of which are forward-thinking.
Like van Dijk, Ajer, who has an average of 2.7 successful long balls in the SPL, likes to make long adjustments in the game, to stretch the defenses to block and put his team ahead.
In search of its tenth consecutive name, Parkhead’s team has been absolutely dominant at home for almost a decade and although Liverpool, which has just earned its first name in 30 years, has not been comparable to the head and shoulders above the rest of the world..league, both clubs face the same agonizing defensive tactics of the opposition.
Hypothetically, signing a player like Ajer, who is used to betting on a dominant team, with the pressures and expectations associated, would fit with what the Reds want and want in a central half; defensively physically powerful but with the ability to play the ball to thrive on an offensive team.
Although Scotland is a weaker league than the English League and the German Bundesliga, Ajer takes the maximum productive attributes of White and Kabak, the defenders more connected with a move to Merseyside, and brings them all together in one package.
While White, who was on loan last season at Leeds United, is a cult football midfielder, he doesn’t have the air dominance the Reds prioritize in his next defensive signing.
In the middle, due to Gomez’s relative lack of aerial prowess (Charlton’s academy alumni earn just over 60% of their aerial duels), it reigns ideal in the air to avoid any situation where injuries mean that English relates in the back to some other player.which is not the most powerful in the air.
Meanwhile, Kabak is forged with air but as composed or technically polished on the ball as White or Ajer.
The Norwegian international, however, claims these two characteristics with the shovel and over time, under the skilful gaze of Klopp, Pepijn Lijnders and his companions, may simply clean up some of his shortcomings, such as an occasional lack of discipline, and fill the rich.Who has recently noticed it connected to Milan and Tottenham.
Valued at around £20,000,000, Ajer, a Liverpool fan in his childhood, to sweeten the deal, can become a forged acquisition for the Reds and follow in the footsteps of Virgil van Dijk and Andrew Robertson and be a former player.in the SPL exceling at the Merseysiders baseline.
