Konate looks a terrific prospect after shining at former club RB Leipzig, and he could be an important addition to Jurgen Klopp’s squad.
The Reds need more options in defence after the numerous injury problems suffered by Joel Matip and Joe Gomez last season, with Konate perhaps a more reliable long-term partner for Virgil van Dijk.
