Liverpool transfer news: Liverpool have identified Brighton left-back Maxim De Cuyper as a possible replacement for Kostas Tsimikas, according to Transfer Feed. What De Cuyper would bring Liverpool’s left-back department looks very different from a year ago.

De Cuyper cost Brighton roughly £17m when he left Club Brugge last year, so £50m would nearly triple that outlay. He delivers crosses and corners in volume, drifts inside from left-back and can play as a left winger, and last season’s data put him among the Premier League’s best left-backs for chances created.

Liverpool transfer news: Is De Cuyper the right left-back for Liverpool? He would improve Liverpool’s attacking output from the left, but £50m is too much for a player with those defensive gaps.
