Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is keeping tabs on Benjamin Pavard, as per KickOff (h/t Mirror).
The 22-year-old can play either as a right-back or a central defender and he recently won the World Cup with France in Russia. The report claims Liverpool could sign Pavard for a fee of €35m, provided Stuttgart fail to make it to the Champions League this season.
Pavard’s stock has been on the rise since last season and he capped it off with a few brilliant displays in the World Cup too.
The youngster scored a wonderful volley in the clash against Argentina and he seems to be a sound defender as well.
It will be interesting to see where we might play him, given that he can cover a couple of positions on the pitch. The 22-year-old could provide competition to Trent Alexander-Arnold and Nathaniel Clyne for the right-back spot.
We have a few central defenders in the side too and with Virgil van Dijk being the first-choice in the team, Pavard could provide competition to the likes of Joe Gomez, Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip.

Signing the 22-year-old for €35m could turn out to be a bargain and hopefully, Klopp can make another stellar signing for the Reds.
