Dung Grin's video: Liverpool keep tabs on fresh transfer target as stats alert Reds and move anticipated

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp could add to his defensive options during the January transfer window with Vitesse Arnhem left-back Max Clark on the Reds’ radar. Liverpool were alerted to the former Hull ace’s impressive performances in Holland through statistical analysis and have since had scouts check up ob the potential bargain buy. Liverpool boast one of Europe’s most-highly rated defences with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson the three integral components of a stellar rearguard. But they are not resting on their laurels as they seem to embark on an era of dominance, with bolstering a squad capable of challenging on a range of fronts high on the agenda. Liverpool are at the forefront of the modern game and use statistics to flag up possible targets before sending in club personnel to take a closer look. The Mirror report this approach has led them to run the rule over Clark, whose impressive showings at Vitesse have caught the eye of England manager Gareth Southgate. JUST IN: Liverpool debut delayed for Takumi Minamino  Clark, who has 18 months left on his current contract, may arrive at Anfield as a deputy to his former Hull team-mate Robertson. And there is said to be a ‘growing feeling’ that the 23-year-old might quit Vitesse to return to England, where Liverpool are among a clutch of admirers. Vitesse are bracing themselves for bids to come in after the transfer window opens later this week, with Clark’s homegrown status highly prized. Clark could prove to be a snip, despite his experience in the Dutch top division, due to the relative low cost of doing deals with foreign clubs. Liverpool might face a transfer battle with plenty of scouts going to see him in person thanks to his good form over the past 18 months. DON'T MISS Liverpool catch-up plan hatched by Brendan Rodgers [QUOTES] Liverpool discover chances of January transfer deal [INSIGHT] Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp drops Everton hint [QUOTES] READ MORE What Liverpool guru Michael Edwards thinks about Takumi Minamino  Michael Edwards and co. are adept at doing business on the quiet, however, with moves for Fabinho and Takumi Minamino recently catching rivals off guard. Minamino, one of Red Bull Salzburg’s leading lights over the past couple of seasons, will join Liverpool on January 1 in a £7.25m deal. The Japan international’s release clause was discovered by Liverpool early on and allowed them to steal a march on other interested parties. Premier League leaders Liverpool are currently 13 points clear of second-place Leicester and have a game in hand on Brendan Rodgers’ side. They will be out to extend their advantage on Thursday when they welcome Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United to Anfield.
