Liverpool set to battle Juventus for Germany international Jonas Hector
LIVERPOOL are set to battle Juventus for Cologne defender Jonas Hector.
Jonas Hector is being linked with Liverpool and Juventus
The German international is widely viewed as the best left-back in the Bundesliga at present.
And despite Cologne sitting second bottom of the league at present, Hector has thrived this term.
Juventus are fully expecting Alex Sandro to leave the club this summer, with Chelsea and Manchester United both reportedly interested.
And Kwadwo Asamoah is set to join fellow Serie A side Inter Milan.
But Liverpool are willing to battle the European giants for Hector's signature, according to Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport.
Jurgen Klopp already has Andrew Robertson and Alberto Moreno on the books at Anfield.
And the former has been performing well in recent months after a shaky start on Merseyside.
As for Moreno, his Liverpool career is under threat after falling down the pecking order.
Andrew Robertson has been performing well for Liverpool
And the Spaniard has been lambasted by fans over the years for his below-par performances.
Hector is currently on international duty with Germany, and is likely to be involved from the outset against Brazil on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old has been capped 36 times for Joachim Low's side.
