Liverpool now lining up OBVIOUS transfer to replace Joe Gomez

Liverpool are making a very interesting move to replace Joe Gomez at the club.

It's becoming increasingly obvious that sooner or later the club's longest serving player will have to leave Anfield. Gomez has spent over a decade at Liverpool now.

He arrived while Brendan Rodgers was in charge and had lived through it all becoming a Champions League and Premier League winner.

It's incredible to think that he's still only 28-years-old. Even though he started his career at Charlton, he has just become synonymous with Liverpool.

Sure, he has suffered his fair share of injuries over the years. But when he has played you could never really complain about him. Gomez has always been a solid player.

And in his heyday he was probably the best partner Virgil van Dijk has had in the centre-back position.

But every era must come to an end and as we embark on a Liverpool rebuild Gomez is one player who could be sacrificed.

Liverpool need to put together a backline for the long-term. Gomez was close to leaving the club in the summer, and that remains a possibility. Van Dijk isn't getting any younger and Ibrahima Konate's contract expires at the end of the season.

That leaves just Giovanni Leoni as the only option who will be at the club for the long-term future.

It's something Liverpool need to fix. They need to bed in younger players now so that they can gradually come to understand the requirements at the club, and the standards they have to reach.

Of course, Liverpool need more depth as well. Arne Slot is struggling because he doesn't have a lot of players to choose from.

So a move in January is essential for a centre-back.

And it looks like Liverpool could actually make a move. According to a recent report, Club Brugge are open to selling Joel Ordonez in the winter window with Liverpool being one of his most interested suitors.

21-years-old with lots of Champions League football under his belt, Ordonez is the perfect replacement for Gomez.

He is a very comfortable ball-playing centre-back who plays in the right-sided centre-back role, which is exactly where Liverpool need to strengthen.

Ordonez is tall and physical. He's strong in his duels and he reads the game really well. He's pretty much everything you want from a modern day centre-back.

He could improve his aerial duels. But overall, he is a really exciting prospect and someone who would instantly elevate Slot's options.

As far as January deals go, and as far as Gomez replacements go, this is just the obvious choice.
