Dayot Upamecano would be the ideal January signing for Manchester United or Liverpool, according to experienced player recruitment expert David Webb.
Both clubs are looking to strengthen at centre-back in the long term and have been tracking the RB Leipzig star, who reportedly has a £40m release clause active this summer.
"A particular player (I would recommend) that springs to mind is Dayot Upamecano; one I've known for quite a long time.
The winter transfer window is open until Monday February 1 at 11pm.
Webb, who has been head of elite potential ID for Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham, Eddie Howe's head of recruitment at Bournemouth and more recently Huddersfield's director of football operations, believes Upamecano has developed into one of the game's best central defenders.
"It's an interesting one because both teams are looking to compete on all fronts, especially with Manchester United's recent surge up the league and Liverpool's defensive problems at the moment," Webb told Sky Sports News.
One player he has tipped to make the Premier League grade immediately is River Plate's Santiago Sosa - a player heavily linked with Everton in the past - with Argentina a particular "hotbed" for young talent.
