Liverpool should do everything possible to sign Dayot Upamecano soon, Steve Nicol has said.
He recently revealed that the Reds should give serious consideration to spending a lot of money in their defence after VVD’s injury.
According to him, Liverpool’s title chances this season dropped by 25 per cent since Van Dijk got injured, so the club has to invest at the back soon.
He added that Joe Gomez has already had two major surgeries, so the chances of it happening again is very high.
His words, “Oh my goodness, [Liverpool’s title chances] drop a good 20, 25 per cent from where they were, without Van Dijk.
“I think right now Liverpool absolutely, because of this injury, have to go out and spend a lot of money.
“Joe Gomez, at 23 years of age, has already had two major surgeries. That means the chances of it happening again rise.
“You’re talking about percentages of Liverpool defending [the title], you talk about percentages of a player having another bad injury.
“So I think this forces them into it and they should go and get Upamecano.”
