He's perfect! Liverpool now lining up the ultimate transfer

Richard Hughes may be lining up the dream transfer for Liverpool.

Right now the Reds are in a cocoon. They're undergoing a metamorphosis. It's a year of transformation. A year where Michael Edwards and Hughes really begin to put their own face on the empty canvas that Liverpool have become.

The club's recruitment policy over the last year or so has made that clear.

Liverpool are buying young players, some of the best young players on the planet. They have a clear purpose and a mission that transcends the current season.

This is a project for the next five to ten years. This is the new post-Jurgen Klopp era, and so far while results aren't necessarily felt on the pitch, Hughes has done an excellent job.

The individual signings are all shinning. Hugo Ekitike, Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez have all proved how important they are going to be for Liverpool in the years to come.

A key part of the rebuild will also focus on Virgil van Dijk's legacy. Liverpool need to rebuild their defence. Whether Ibrahima Konate leaves for pastures new or not, the club's backline is thin.

Joe Gomez is very fragile and Van Dijk isn't getting any younger.

Additions like Giovanni Leoni and Jeremy Jacquet present a bright future. Not to mention Ifeanyi Ndukwe and Mor Talla Ndiaye having also joined the club.

But Liverpool need more. And Hughes may be on a mission to do exactly that.

We've written recently about how Liverpool now want to sign Luka Vuskovic. This is an incredible defender who has been around for a while.

Vuskovic emerged as a 16-year-old playing in the eternal derby at Croatia and catching the eye. Back then in 2023, over three years ago Liverpool already had the chance to secure his services.

They didn;t. Instead, Tottenham signed Vuskovic and have been building his career ever since. Currently he is on loan at Hamburg where he is already becoming the best defender in the Bundesliga at just 18-years-old.

Vuskovic ranks among the top five centre-backs for defensive duels won (75%), aerial duels won (65%) and interceptions (6.02 per 90 minutes).

He is an incredibly talented defender who can play across the defensive line, even as a full-back but most importantly both as a left-sided and right-sided centre-back.

In terms of his ability, it's remarkable what he is doing at his age. Vuskovic's reading of the game is elite. He is incredibly strong in the air and already very physical.

On top of that he has this poise and composure on the ball. He's constantly looking to play vertically.

And then there is his aerial threat. Vuskovic has incredible power and he can score a lot of goals. He scored seven goals in the Jupiler Pro League last season and has scored four in the Bundesliga.

In essence, he is perfect. If Liverpool are serious, they simply have to bring him to Anfield. He can be the best defender in the world one day.
