TOP STORY: Liverpool interested in Frankfurt’s Pacho

Liverpool are interested in Eintracht Frankfurt defender Willian Pacho, reports Gianluca Di Marzio.

The Reds are reported to hold “strong interest” in the 22-year-old Ecuador international as they look to acquire a left-footed centre-back as one of their first signings of the next transfer window.

He has been in bright form for the Eagles since arriving from Royal Antwerp last summer, having quickly established himself as a key player for the side, recently making his 29th Bundesliga start in the 3-1 win over Augsburg last Friday.

Pacho is one of the latest players linked with a switch to Anfield since current Feyenoord manager Arne Slot confirmed negotiations with the Premier League club. The Dutchman is reported to to succeed Jurgen Klopp, with Liverpool setting out early to land a defender.

That could see him replace the 32-year-old and currently injured Joël Matip, with just over two months remaining before he will be out of contract at Anfield.
