One of Liverpool’s biggest problems this season has been at right-back, with loanee Ronald Araujo now the makeshift first-choice.

Conor Bradley suffered a serious injury in January that will see him out of action for close to a year, and Jeremie Frimpong has failed to step up in his absence.

The Dutchman lost his place to Dominik Szoboszlai last season and now Araujo, who is naturally a central defender, is the preferred starter.

It seems likely that Frimpong is on borrowed time in Merseyside, and now the Reds are being linked with one of his compatriots for a potential January deal.

According to a new report from TEAMtalk , Liverpool continue to monitor Givairo Read ahead of a potential January move, with the 20-year-old impressing in the opening weeks of Feyenoord’s campaign.

Having already registered five assists in his opening seven Eredivisie matches, it is no surprise that interest in the Dutchman is high and, according to the report, Manchester City and Arsenal are also keeping tabs on the defender.

Read was a target for several Premier League clubs including Nottingham Forest and Everton in the summer, but a move never materialised.

Liverpool are long-term admirers of the young star, but the ongoing struggle at right-back could accelerate their interest and see the 20-year-old make a Merseyside move this winter.
