Every free agent centre-back Liverpool can still sign on Transfer Deadline Day
There are plenty of free agent centre-backs available should Liverpool make a late effort to strengthen their back-line.
Injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez have left the Reds scrambling as they look to retain their Premier League crown.
Jordan Henderson has been forced to slot into defence recently with Fabinho and Joel Matip also spending time on the sidelines.
Boss Jurgen Klopp has admitted he wants to improve his options, and he may look towards those currently without a club.
Former Reds star Martin Skrtel is a free agent, though recently suffered an Achilles injury and is set for more time out of the game.
Ezequiel Garay, formerly of Real Madrid, Benfica and Valencia, is also available on a free following a knee injury last February.
Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa impressed at times while with Newcastle, though is now without a club after spells with Roma and Lyon.
The free agents could be useful with Klopp admitting it could take a big fee to sign a player currently with a club.
The Liverpool boss had said: “You know the situation with centre-halves out there. You know the clubs where the centre-halves are playing because everyone is talking about them.

“Tell me if one of these clubs needs the money and needs to sell a player? And if they need money, then they want crazy money.
“I am not sure there is an £80m centre-back available at the moment and a club thinks ‘We can get £80m for him so we will sell him’.
“I don’t think that’s the case. Actually, pretty much I know. This calibre of player the teams would not sell them now.”
