Liverpool have reportedly joined the race to sign one of the most sought-after defenders in the Italian Serie A this season.
The publication from footballtransfertavern says that the Reds are interested in Sampdoria defender Joachim Andersen as they seek defensive reinforcement to soften the blow from the loss of England international star Joe Gomez to Injury.
Premier League leaders Liverpool were dealt a huge blow on the injury front when defender Joe Gomez was ruled out for at least six weeks as a result of the leg fracture that he sustained during last week’s league clash at Burnley.
The former Charlton Athletic centre-back was injured during a collision with Burnley captain Ben Mee in the first half of the Premier League clash.
The Reds came from behind to secure a 3-1 victory over the Clarets.
Joe Gomez is a utility defender that can play as a centre back or as a right-back.
Joachim Andersen could be a solid replacement for him.
The junior Danish international centre-back has been in impressive form for Sampdoria this season.
He has featured in 14 league appearances for Sampdoria and has helped his team to the top ten of the Italian Serie A table.
Joachim Andersen has completed 88% of his passes in this campaign in addition to making 2.4 tackles per game.
