Top 6 Central Defenders Linked with a Summer Move to Liverpool Football Club

Liverpool is set for a busy summer once the transfer window opens with new American owners Tom Werner and John Henry keen to flex their financial muscle and improve the Reds' squad.

Despite the dramatic improvement on the pitch since Kenny Dalglish —now signed in as the permanent manager—took over in January, there are still obvious deficiencies which need addressing in the same manner that Damien Comolli, Ian Ayre and Dalglish applied to the striker's vacancy when Fernando Torres departed for Chelsea.  They repaired these vacancies with a quality replacement or two.

The success of Luis Suarez and, to a lesser extent because of injury, Andy Carroll, has given Liverpool supporters hope that this summer will be a big one for the Reds as they bid to return to the top of domestic football.

One of the key areas of any team is the centre of its defence and though Liverpool have four senior members of the squad at present—Jamie Carragher, Daniel Agger, Martin Skrtel and Soto Kyrgiakos—it is expected that at least one and possibly two of them could be moved on in the summer, making way for a new addition.

Here we examine the Top 6 centre backs from around Europe who have been linked with a move to the Reds recently.
