Jonathan Tah is a German international who plies his trade in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen. The 23-year-old imposing center back made his debut for Hamburger SV before moving to Leverkusen.

Tah made his Germany debut at the age of 20 years against England. His style of play involves dribbling and short passes. The German has averaged 1.4 tackles, 1.4 interceptions, 4.6 clearances and 0.8 blocks per game this season in 22 Bundesliga matches.

Liverpool clearly needs a CB because apart from Virgil Van Dijk, they have Joe Gomez who is exceptionally good and has the potential to be great but gets those long term injuries far too often through no fault of his own. Joel Matip is a decent backup and Dejan Lovren is good on his day but far too injury prone and error-ridden.

The lack of decent backups was felt this season when Fabinho had to play in the CB role due to injuries. So, the signing of Tah is a no brainer for Liverpool.
