Liverpool want to sign Argentine defender Julio Soler

Liverpool are interested in Argentine defender Julio Soler.

The 19-year-old is highly rated in South America and his performances have caught the attention of the Premier League club. Liverpool have already contacted Solers club Lanus about a possible transfer. It will be interesting to see if they can complete the deal.

According to a report via the Mirror, Liverpool are considering appointing the South American defender as a successor to Andrew Robertson.

The Scotland international has been exceptional for Liverpool since joining from Hull City. He has helped them win every trophy at club level, but his performances last season were rather poor. He has had his fair share of injury problems over the past 12 months and his form has also dipped.

Although Liverpool still have an option in Kostas Tsimikas, the team wants to build for the future and has therefore identified the 19-year-old Argentine as a suitable replacement.
