New right-back is coming after insider confirms change needed
Paul Joyce says we will sign a right-back
The position was addressed last summer when Jeremie Frimpong was signed from Bayer Leverkusen and Conor Bradley given a new contract.
But the plan to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold has not gone to plan - with Bradley on the sidelines once again with a serious knee injury and Frimpong either unfit or unreliable at right-back this season.
Joe Gomez, Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Curtis Jones have all been pressed into action at right-back this season with Arne Slot affording precious few minutes to the only other specialists in sight in Calvin Ramsay.
Now it appears that Hughes has seen enough with a right-back in Liverpool’s sights.
