Giovanni Leoni is the latest player to be brought in by Liverpool this summer.

The Reds have spent well over £200million on improving their first-team squad, and seeing as though Jarell Quansah hadn’t been replaced yet, the addition of the Italian centre-back makes a lot of sense.

Friday evening’s game against Bournemouth was too soon for him to be involved, but once he’s been integrated into the squad and is given an insight into how the team plays, Leoni could end up getting handed a start.

That is, especially after what happened with one Liverpool man in their 4-2 win over Bournemouth in their Premier League opener.

The centre-back was a regular feature for Parma in the Serie A last season, with many of the top clubs from Italy trying to entice him with a move to their team.

The centre-back is 6’4 and, from looking at the way he carried himself last season, he could become a valuable asset to Arne Slot’s team this season.
