Sky Sports News reporter Vinny O’Connor discusses the potential restructuring Liverpool could undergo if Andoni Iraola is appointed as their new manager.
“When you look at the squad, they need to bring pace in the wide forward area. Ian Diomond is someone they have identified but they are facing competition.
“You look at the back line, (Jeremy) Jacquet is coming in, (Giovanni) Leoni is already there but he’s been out all season with an ACL (injury). They’re two young centre-halves.
“Kona has gone too. You have to wonder if they need more experience there. Especially with the injury record of Joe Gomez and Connor Bradley.
“Another area that will help Iraola is at number 6. Ryan Gravenbirch has been successful but his workload is huge.
“This is a massive summer for Liverpool, with important decisions to be made about the brand of football they want to play if they are to progress.”
