I’d be hoping that Virgil van Dijk has one or two more years left in him, so I think if he arrived he would not be a straight replacement right away. I’m not surprised that they’re looking at Schlotterbeck."Konate, like many of his team-mates, has endured difficult moments this season, and Riise, speaking to footitalia.com, feers the France international may move on."The thing with Konate is that he can have unbelievable games and he can have games where he looks like he's not there," said the Norwegian, who won the Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup with Liverpool, making 348 appearances for the club and scoring 31 goals and making 36 more."I think it’s unlikely he signs a new deal, so the club will already be looking for central defenders for the next two windows."If he signs on, I think they probably only need one more defender, but if he leaves, then I’d expect they’d move for two from whomever is on their shortlist."But for Konate, he knows Slot’s system, he knows the club and the team, so I would give him a new contract.

I wished him well and all that kind of thing."You know, he's a very aggressive player that hasn't really shown his best yet. I know that is who he is, but it looks so stressful sometimes.

But sometimes he can maybe take more time."He’s been good in some games, others he’s struggled in. But I expect him to be fine because he knows the English game, and hopefully he will be more of an attacking threat also in the upcoming games."
