The Premier League season officially starts today and Liverpool are still waiting for their first summer signing.
In about 24 hours, they will start their Premier League season against Ipswich Town, but manager Arne Slot will be missing a new addition to his squad.
However, this situation might soon change as the Reds are reportedly interested in signing Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri.
Journalist David Lynch reports that the Merseyside club is keen on acquiring the Wolves defender and could finalize the deal before the transfer deadline.
The left-back position has been a significant concern at Anfield, with both Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas dealing with fitness issues last season.
Although Joe Gomez can serve as a makeshift left-back, Liverpool needs a natural, left-footed left-back who can not only defend but also offer an attacking option.
Rayan Ait-Nouri fits the profile of the type of player Liverpool is seeking for the left-back role.
The Algerian international performed well for Wolves last season under manager Gary OâNeil, appearing in 33 Premier League matches for the club.
After their attempts to sign a midfielder, including a failed bid for Real Sociedadâs Martin Zubimendi, Liverpool have shifted their focus to bolstering their defense, with a new left-back now a top priority.
While Liverpool fans would also like to see a reliable new center-back to partner Virgil Van Dijk, it appears unlikely that many new signings will be made at this time.
With just two weeks remaining in the transfer window, Liverpool must act quickly to secure new players. Rayan Ait-Nouri, an attacking left-back with pace and a strong offensive presence, would be a great fit for Liverpoolâs attacking style. His ability to contribute offensively would complement the Reds’ attacking players well.
