Anfield boost! Liverpool target Crystal Palace’s key defender

Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has outlined an ambitious overhaul of the Merseyside club’s defensive line.

Details: Liverpool are seriously interested in 27-year-old Crystal Palace left-back Tyrick Mitchell. According to Ekrem Konur, the Reds’ manager, Andoni Iraola, is looking to solve the team’s reliability problems on the flank and views the experienced Englishman as the ideal candidate to strengthen his starting squad.

The Spanish coach was unhappy with the performances of his full-backs at the start of the Premier League season and is looking to add greater balance and stability when defending his own goal. Mitchell’s situation looks particularly appealing to the Merseyside hierarchy, as his current contract with the Eagles is nearing its end, opening the door to a cut-price move as early as January or a free transfer next summer.

Tyrick Mitchell has been an indispensable member of Crystal Palace’s defensive unit for several seasons, making more than 150 appearances for the London club in the Premier League. The defender, who has already received a call-up to the England national team, consistently ranks among the league leaders for tackles won, successful challenges and passes blocked.
