da winzada777： Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is set to further strengthen his defence in January with a bid for Ajax’s Jan Vertonghen in the pipeline, the Metro reports.
da pixbet： The Liverpool boss isn’t entirely satisfied with his defence, despite already strengthening it this summer with the signings of Jose Enrique from Newcastle and Uruguayan starlet Sergio Coates.
Vertonghen was linked with a move to Merseyside and Premier League rivals Arsenal during the transfer window although both failed in persuading Ajax to sell.
That could all change in January with Dalglish set to renew his interest in the 24-year-old Belgian international who has become a key figure at the Amsterdam Arena.
Fresh interest in Vertonghen comes off the back of criticism aimed at current Reds defender Jamie Carragher after the stalwart’s mistakes against Bolton and Stoke.
Dalglish spoke out in defence of the 33-year-old and insisted that his place in the side was down to his consistent displays and not based on reputation.
He said: “I don’t know what I can say to you about him because there is nothing that I would like to change about him.
“Jamie Carragher will do me just fine the way he is.”
With Liverpool reviving their interest in Vertonghen, and with a January bid expected, it could nonetheless spell the end of Carragher’s regular first team opportunities at Anfield.
