Right-back has become something of an issue for the Reds under Andoni Iraola, even though Ronald Araujo is impressing there so far this season, being praised by his boss recently: “He has done very well. He is defending his side of the pitch very well, and sometimes maybe we underestimate his attacking.
He has come here wanting to show he is at this level, so I hope we can keep him there because he’s in a lovely place.” Jeremie Frimpong currently doesn’t look good enough to be a long-term option for Liverpool at right-back, while Conor Bradley’s injury-prone nature is becoming a cause for concern. He has won 58 caps for a star-studded France side, proving to be a hugely dependable right-back option, and Barca manager Hansi Flick has lauded him in the past, saying: “His attitude is not typical.
In every training session, he wants to give it his all. It is great to have his versatility, and he will hopefully seal a permanent move to Liverpool at the end of the season, but an out-and-out right-back is required, either in the January transfer window or next summer.
