REPORT: REDS’ INTEREST IN “BEST YOUNG CB IN THE WORLD”

LENY YORO: LIVERPOOL’S FUTURE CB STAR?
Liverpool’s strategic planning for future recruitment is in full swing, with the team already aligning its sights on potential transfers for the coming years. With the transfer window drawing near, Liverpool, driven by their proactive approach, is linked with several players. The most notable link emerges in the centre-back position, especially after Joel Matip’s season-ending injury. According to reports from French media, Liverpool have set their sights on Leny Yoro, the Lille defender, for both immediate and long-term plans.

Manager Jurgen Klopp is reportedly laying the groundwork for the 2024 and 2025 market, and Yoro has emerged as a key target. Amidst ongoing contract discussions with Ibrahima Konate, Liverpool dreams of pairing him with Yoro, enhancing their defensive line-up. However, securing Yoro’s signature won’t be straightforward. Manchester’s top clubs are also engaged in discussions with Lille for Yoro, but Liverpool remains resolute in their quest for the world’s top prospects.

YORO: A RISING STAR IN EUROPEAN FOOTBALL
At just 18, Leny Yoro has become an integral part of Lille’s squad. His performance has not only put him on the radar of several top European clubs but also cemented his reputation as one of the continent’s most promising talents. This season, Yoro has already made 18 appearances, showcasing his goal-scoring ability from the back with three goals in all competitions. His playing style is marked by composure, defensive intelligence, and an offensive threat at set-pieces, qualities rare in a teenager.

Comparisons have been drawn between Yoro and the former St Etienne duo of William Saliba and Wesley Fofana, now at Arsenal and Chelsea respectively. Yoro is tipped to be the next standout French centre-back, sparking interest from Premier League giants like Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Liverpool.

Despite this interest, PSG remains a significant contender for Yoro’s signature. The Parisian club’s recent signings of young French talents, like Bradley Barcola and Kylian Mbappe, indicate their strategy of nurturing domestic prodigies. According to SciSports’ ‘Career Advice’ tool, PSG emerges as Yoro’s ideal club with a high ‘Club Fit Score’. Given the ageing Marquinhos and injured Presnel Kimpembe at PSG, Yoro could find substantial playing time and development opportunities in Paris.

Jurgen Klopp revealed that his half-time double substitution in Liverpool’s loss against Royal Union Saint-Gilloise was always planned.

The Reds were defeated 2-1 by the Belgian side, having already moved into the Europa League knockout stage before the game. Klopp fielded a youthful side who struggled to find rhythm although the result mattered little. Jarell Quansah bagged his first goal for the club in the first period.

Liverpool are top of the Premier League and have crunch games against Manchester United and Arsenal approaching. As a result, Ibrahima Konate and Wataru Endo were both withdrawn at the break against Union and replaced by Joe Gomez and Ryan Gravenberch respectively. Asked what his thinking behind starting Konate was at his post-match press conference, Reds manager Klopp said: “We just wanted to share the intensity.

“Do I want to play Joe Gomez 90 or Ibou 90 if we had the chance to do that? [I decided] 45 and 45, the same in midfield. These changes were planned before the game, independent of the result. We just tried to give it a go. It was clear that Jarell if he could play through then he would play through. That was the thinking behind it.”
