Liverpool Transfer Rumors Part IV : Defenders

The Liverpool defense has been through its ups and downs this season.

In past seasons, Liverpool had been known to have a good defensive record, something that was missing in the early part of the campaign this year despite the defensive tactics employed by the former manager.

With Kenny Dalglish's appointment has come a resurgence in defense for Liverpool with only one goal conceded in the last six games.

However, there are obvious areas of concern, and Liverpool might look for reinforcements in this area as well.

The right back position seems to be adequately covered, with Martin Kelly competing with the England international Glen Johnson for the position.

The central defense seems to be in the able hands of Jamie Carragher, Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel. However, with Carragher aging and Skrtel being mistake-prone, Liverpool just might be looking to reinforce the center of defense.

Since the departure of John Arne Riise, Liverpool has been looking for a quality left back. With Emiliano Insua out on loan to Galatasaray and Fabio Aurelio being preferred in the midfield, Johnson has been playing the left back role under Kenny. Hence, Liverpool would definitely look to get some quality in this area in the summer.

The list looks at five left backs and five central defenders who could make a switch to Anfield in the summer.
