Liverpool have reportedly identified Feyenoord defender Givairo Read as a potential transfer target.
The Reds recruited Jeremie Frimpong as Trent Alexander-Arnold's replacement in the summer of 2025.
However, the Dutchman has struggled to consistently produce the level of form he enjoyed at Bayer Leverkusen.
With Conor Bradley injured, Liverpool opted to bring in Ronald Araujo on loan from Barcelona in the summer, with the Uruguayan able to cover at right back as well as play in his more familiar position as a central defender.
Despite Araujo's arrival, Liverpool still view the right-back position as an area that may need strengthening in 2027.
According to TEAMtalk , the Reds are keeping a close eye on Read after identifying the Feyenoord man as a viable option.
