Former Premier League striker Niklas Bendtner believes that Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen would be a quality addition to the Liverpool defence.
He believes that the Denmark international could prove to be an upgrade on Ibrahima Konate.
The Frenchman was quite mediocre against Crystal Palace at the weekend and Bendtner believes that Andersen would be a better option for the Reds.
Bendtner said on the Stolpe Ind podcast: “Now, I like to make (a proposal) where we put him in Liverpool’s team instead of Konate. (Konate) is so slow on the ball and has no idea where to play it. There, you can argue for what he is doing there versus the fact that Joachim could play there.”
It Is no secret that Liverpool need defensive reinforcements at the end of the season and it will be interesting to see if they can bring in the necessary signings.
Andersen has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the Premier League in recent seasons and he could prove to be a superb acquisition for the Reds. However, Crystal Palace will not want to lose a player of his quality anytime soon.
