Liverpool want 6ft 3in defender Evan Ndicka on free transfer (reliability: 4 stars)

Mirror

 on free transfer, relatively credible journalist David Maddock reports.

The Frenchman has turned down Eintracht's final contract offer and is set to leave the Bundesliga side on free transfer.

The move is considered perfect for the Reds, who need fresh blood in defence while also saving money for new midfielders.

However, Liverpool face huge competition, with 

Ndicka stands at 192cm (6'3") so he's naturally a big threat at set pieces; he's also good at winning the ball back and reads the game well.

Skrtel on Konate: 'Everyone was talking about Upamecano. I said, "The other Leipzig centre-back is even better"'

“When I was playing in Turkey a few years ago, we played against Leipzig and at the time, everyone was talking about this guy 

"I told my friend, ‘The other centre-back Leipzig have got is even better’. I was so happy when Liverpool signed him. 

"Konate is such a good player. He’s strong physically and he seems strong mentally too, and he’s good with the ball. He’s still young and will be very important for the club’s future."

Skrtel played against Konate in 2020, when his Istanbul Basaksehir side faced Leipzig in the Champions League group stages.

 in 2021. He's made 43 appearances for the Reds so far.

'What kind of question is that?': Konate when asked to compare Van Dijk to former teammate Upamecano

 was asked to compare his current teammate 

, the centre-back Konate played alongside at 

 defender said. "You can't compare the two. With Upamecano, we are in the same category even if he is a very high competitor.

"But Van Dijk, I put him on a different planet. We're still a long way from achieving what he did. Although we will get there one day, I have no doubt.

"What have I learned from playing with Van Dijk? Leadership, he has such an ease in defending on certain players.

"He has his own technique, it's incredible. His determination, his drive. He has an aura on the pitch, you always feel it. It's an exceptional chance to play with him. But I also have to look at my career and not look at him as a fan all the time."

Konate and Van Dijk built up quite a solid partnership at Liverpool, and their injuries over this campaign contributed to the deteriorating results.

The 23-year-old Frenchman in particular has suffered plenty of issues which is a concern as he's expected to be the Reds' main centre-back for many years to come.

to French men in defence wouldn't be a bad move if they play club and county together will play well at all time we hope

silva yes, Braithwaite is shite, he'd be playing for efc if he was good enough... silva, tourmouri and Ndicka Ndicka plus 1 of these to save money and get top young French defender which they are very good at, plus Rabiot also, freebie and his 27 now, plated at highest level his life and a strong no 6.

Should balance it with an HG mate. Yes,  Tomori looks good.

this makes sense. I freebie we can sell on if it doesn't work for a nice profit, think with mstip going also and Nat, we need two cb or one in and promote sepp to 5th choice.
