Liverpool Transfers: 11 Essential Signings To Win The League Next Year

6. Serge Aurier

Current Club: Toulouse The Toulouse stopper has already been linked to Newcastle, as the Magpies look to rebuild after a disastrous second half of the season, and Arsenal after he admitted that moving to another French side would be disrespectful to his current club. And it is plainly obvious that Liverpool need to boost their options at full-back, with Glenn Johnson looking weak at times this term. Aurier has caught the eye this season with some exceptional performances contributing to Toulouse's run of conceding only 50 goals in 36 games this season. As well as offering strong defensive fortitude, the Ivorian is well-suited to attacking, with a powerful running style that tends to mean he is employed wide, despite his ability to play as a centre-back. The 21-year-old defender also chips in with goals, having scored six and assisted six this season, and making an average of 45 passes per game. He does need to work on his temperament and tendency to jump into tackles, but his virtues outweigh the development areas of his game.
