Liverpool ready to sign Premier League stars

Some Liverpool fans will be frustrated at missing out Antoine SemenhoThe Bournemouth striker is one of the most dangerous players in the Premier League this season.

But the Reds are in desperate need of a defender. The system for Slot is Van Dijk or Ibrahima Konat Injury and chaos.

But Liverpool can see his talent and know that by signing the England international, they will get a centre-back with the perfect skillset to reach the peak of his career in the Premier League and Europe’s top leagues.
