We’ll go as far as to say that the entire of the again line wants some additions. Joe Gomez does a great job of overlaying a number of positions, however with Joel Matip leaving it might be a good suggestion to attempt to get some extra depth within the again line.
Gamers who can cowl each the central defensive positions and full-back positions could be wanted, particularly if somebody like Kostas Tsimikas decides to maneuver on in quest of first-team soccer.
