Jurgen Klopp has been advised to land Napoli ace defender Kaliduo Koulibaly

The Senegal international who has attracted interest from several elite clubs, starred against Liverpool in the Champions League and he's seen as one of the best full-backs in Europe.
Jurgen Klopp is currently experiencing players shortage at his backline with Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Dejan Lovren injured and former Liverpool striker John Aldridge has urged the Liverpool boss to spend cash on Koulibaly to put his side in shape this winter.
Speaking to the Irish Independent Aldridge said: "This is not a moment for Liverpool to hit the panic button.
"But I would urge the club to consider making a move in the transfer market that could allow them to fit the final piece of a title-winning jigsaw into place.
"Dejan Lovren was a weak link in the defence once again as Jurgen Klopp's men lost their first Premier League game of the season at Manchester City and I suspect the Croatian will need to be replaced sooner rather than later if this team are to turn potential into success.
"We have seen the impact made by Virgil van Dijk since his £75m arrival last January and I wonder whether a move for a powerhouse defender like Napoli’s Kalidou Koulibaly could give Klopp's side the bit they need at the back.
"Top-quality opposition continue to get joy out of targeting Lovren, as he has a tendency to lose concentration and this is why I believe Van Dijk needs an A-list defensive partner."

Meanwhile, Liverpool long-term rival Manchester United are reportedly eager to land the Napoli defender this January.
