Liverpool to sign Swedish defender Johan Bangsbo. Liverpool is reportedly interested in signing Johan Bangsbo, a 19-year-old Swedish defender, according to the Swedish publication Fotboll Transfers. Currently, the player works for the Swedish first-division team IFK Goteborg. Additionally, Bangsbo has three youth national team appearances for Sweden. Bangsbo, who is 6’2″, is noteworthy for both his physical and aerial prowess.
Meanwhile, the Reds are eager to bolster their defense in the upcoming transfer windows. Recently, Blackpool’s Rhys Williams was brought back from loan, and Nathaniel Phillips is also on the team. Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk are both in their 30s. Although Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate are available to Jurgen Klopp, it would not be a terrible thing for Liverpool to have additional depth in the form of Bangsbo. The Reds may also benefit from the 19-year-ability olds to play out of the back with the ball.
On January 29, Liverpool will resume play when they play host to Brighton & Hove Albion in an FA Cup fourth-round match. Alisson Becker stated that now the team is completely focused before the game. He stated to the club’s authorized media: “That benefits us. We are equally focused on that because we are aware of how difficult it is to find time to be productive and to work diligently given the schedule we have ahead of us.”
Alisson also said “Sometimes we just need to rest and prepare for the next game; we can’t concentrate on making technical improvements; instead, we just speak and try to solve problems by describing various scenarios. But now that we will have the time to do that this week, we must take advantage of it and apply it to the next game.”
The Brazilian goalkeeper discussed Liverpool’s most recent Premier League match, a home draw against Chelsea, by saying: “Given what both sides produced and created during the game, I believe the draw was appropriate. However, there are some good things as well, and the clean sheet is one of them. Everyone is aware of the position we are in, so we need to create it by regaining our confidence and asserting ourselves.”
