Marc: They should sign both of them. You're only as strong as your weakest link and at centre-back there's a weakness. Virgil van Dijk will not go on forever, and Konate and Gomez are injury prone. Konate is also threatening to run down his contract, so both options mentioned are very much needed and would strengthen the squad.

An offer is yet to be made for the England international while an agreement would also need to be reached on the player side.

Arne Slot’s side hope to bring in another centre-back before the window closes and have opened talks with Crystal Palace
