Speaking to Football Insider, O’Rourke claimed that Liverpool won’t be letting Joe Gomez go midway through the season, despite the centre-back being linked with a move away. “Yeah, it would be highly unlikely that Liverpool would consider letting Joe Gomez go, especially with their current centre-back issues,” O’Rourke said.

“After failing to bring in Guehi, the injury to Leoni was a big blow as well, so Gomez is the only other senior centre-back option available to Slot. The thing about Gomez as well is that he’s so versatile, he can play at right-back, left-back, even in defensive midfield which he did under Jurgen Klopp.

I’m sure there’s still interest from some foreign clubs in Gomez as well, but Liverpool’s current plight means that they can’t even consider letting Gomez go. Gomez can continue to be an important squad player, with Slot describing him as “special’ last season, and if Konate doesn’t improve after the international break, he could even stake a claim for partnering Van Dijk for a period.
