Liverpool are in the mix to sign a “superb” centre-back who could be an alternative option to Marc Guehi, a new transfer report has claimed. A central defender feels high up on the Reds’ list of priorities, with Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg claiming the Premier League champions are still pushing hard to snap up Guehi from Crystal Palace: “Liverpool are still giving everything to sign Marc Guehi on a free transfer next summer, with ongoing talks taking place.

Max Eberl have also expressed concrete interest on the player’s side in case either Dayot Upamecano or Min-jae Kim were to leave.” According to Voetbal Nieuws [via Sport Witness], Liverpool are interested in signing Sporting CP centre-back Zeno Debast, looking to beat rivals Manchester United to his signature. Debast a future world-class defender for Liverpool?

Debast is a young player who has already impressed so much as a player in his career, with scout Jacek Kulig describing him as both “superb” and a “jewel”. Still only 21 years of age, he is already a 22-cap Belgium international, as well as racking up 155 appearances for Sporting and Anderlecht combined, so the Reds would be signing a young player who already has a wealth of experience.
