Liverpool have done an investigation into West Ham defender Issa Diop as he searches for a center-back before the transfer deadline.
The Reds are eager to strengthen their defensive ranks with Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Fabinho and Joel Matip all on the sidelines.
Saturday gossip suggests Liverpool could trade for New York Red Bulls US international Aaron Long, with Reading also looking at a loan move for the 28-year-old.

The athletic reports that Liverpool’s most likely solution will involve signing a loan or hiring a free agent. The champions are also claimed to have moved closer to the West Ham Diop.
The 24-year-old has fallen into the hierarchical order of the London stadium and sources close to the player say that Liverpool have been in contact.
But West Ham is unlikely to sanction a no-purchase loan agreement, with a figure of £ 20 million likely to be acceptable to the Hammers.
