De Sciglio is mighty talented, but he’s only made 85 career appearances due to injury problems, which would initially worry us given our current batch of crocked stars.
Gazzetta are hardly a trusted source when it comes to Liverpool news, so we’ll take this rumour with a pinch of salt for now, as there’s no actual indication Jurgen Klopp wants to bring in a fullback – despite fans crying out for one.
Italians have infamously struggled at Anfield. Andrea Dossena was awful, Alberto Aquilani never settled and Gabriel Paletta didn’t make the grade – although he didn’t become Italian until after leaving Liverpool! The less said about Mario Balotelli the better, Fabio Borini was an expensive flop and keeper Daniele Padelli wasn’t good enough either. If a move for De Sciglio does happen, let’s just hope he does better than the aforementioned six!
