“Plans are being assessed” as Liverpool eye player from Portuguese league
Liverpool defender Conor Bradley has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a serious knee injury he picked up against Arsenal.
According to a report from Team Talk, the club is now considering potential alternatives and has identified Daniel Banjaqui from Benfica as a target. The 17-year-old is highly rated across Europe, and Liverpool scouts have been monitoring his progress.
“Plans are being assessed. If any player were to come in, it would only be someone the club is already well aware of and has done work on,” a source confirmed to Team Talk.
Liverpool eyeing Daniel Banjaqui
It will be interesting to see if Liverpool decides to make a move for him. They need someone who can make an impact on the first team. The 17-year-old might be a promising young player for the future, but he’s not ready for the Premier League yet. It remains to be seen what Liverpool decides.
They need more quality and depth at right back. Jeremie Frimpong has had his fair share of injury problems since joining the club, and Liverpool cannot rely on the Netherlands international to play every game. That leaves the Premier League champions with Calvin Ramsay as the only other option for the right back position. Ramsay is a talented player, but he is not ready to start every week in the Premier League. Liverpool should look to bring in someone with quality and experience. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
Can Liverpool turn things around?
It has been a disappointing season for Liverpool so far. They were expected to fight for the league title, but they are struggling to secure Champions League qualification for the next season. Signing the right players in January could help him bounce back strongly.
Banjaqui would be a quality long-term acquisition, but Liverpool needs someone who can make an immediate impact.
