Liverpool front line compared to 'raptors' by assistant
Antonio Rudiger is set to be one of the most in-demand free agents if he leaves Chelsea at the end of his contract next summer. Liverpool are understood to be one of the clubs interested in signing the German and that chase suggests Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has learnt from a major mistake he made last year.

The decision to pursue a move for Rudiger hints that Klopp and the Reds have learned from this error.
This analysis is backed up by their summer move for Ibrahima Konate, who was highly regarded across Europe when the Reds signed him.
Rudiger would immediately be able to be deployed in the Liverpool side, having been a key part of the Chelsea side that won the Champions League last season.
Signing an elite player such as Rudiger would be a major boost to the Reds and help to cement their aspirations of fighting for trophies in the long-term.
