Former Liverpool forward, Peter Crouch has applauded the Reds transfer policy saying “it’s been unbelievable over the past couple of years” and has called on the club owners to bring in a centre back.

According to Crouch, RB Leipzig centre back, Dayot Upamecano will best suit the Reds style of play and signing him fill the void left by Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez.

Jurgen Klopp’s team are yet to win a Premier League game in the new season with robust fixtures awaiting them in February. The Champions have dwindled to fifth with 34 points with City, United, Leicester and West Ham overtaking them on points.

“Everyone in football can see that they need a centre-half. You’d think they would bring someone in before the deadline,” Crouch exclusively told talkSPORT.com.

“But we can’t criticize Liverpool’s transfer policy. It’s been unbelievable over the past couple of years, the players they’ve brought in and have improved.

“If it’s not the correct centre-half they won’t bring him in and the policy has gone well so far.

“There are so many top centre-halves out there. Upamecano is a top centre-half, I think he’s one of the best in Europe. He’s the best one out there if they can possibly get him.”
