Welcome back to Liverpool Squad Talk, our in-depth series analysing the Liverpool squad ahead of the summer transfer window! In Episode 2, we focus on the defenders, assessing who should stay, who should go, and which players Liverpool should target to strengthen the backline.

One of the biggest talking points is at left-back, where I’ll be analysing Kostas Tsimikas and Andy Robertson - who should depart this summer, and who should remain at the club?

With uncertainty surrounding the futures of Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, I’ll also explore potential centre back and right back targets that Liverpool could pursue in the transfer market.
