Liverpool target jets off as club confirms move

Surely, Liverpool cannot leave him this short of options heading into the rest of the season. The club still has important games to play in the Champions League and the FA Cup.

There's a Champions League place at stake in the Premier League as well. Unless, the club's form turns around, securing a place in next year's competition looks unlikely.

Liverpool need reinforcements and one player who has been on the club's radar is Rion Ichihara. The 20-year-old Japanese centre-back was spotted by scouts at the U20 World Cup and he is someone Liverpool admire according to this report.

Ichihara is a centre-back who is strong in the air and who is very composed on the ball. He's someone who would fit Liverpool's style of play and give an extra depth at the back for the Reds.

Recently, he just captained Japan to the U23 Asian Cup, which they won at the weekend.
