Alan Smith has urged Liverpool to sign West Brom defender Jonny Evans during the January transfer window.
The Reds have been phenomenal in attack this season and Mohamed Salah is currently the Premier League’s leading scorer with 14 goals from 17 top-flight appearances.
However they have struggled defensively and have conceded 20 goals this season with the performances of Ragnar Klavan and Dejan Lovren in particular coming under intense scrutiny.
The Reds earmarked Southampton defender Virgil Van Diyk as one of their priority targets during the summer transfer window but failed to land him after the Saints refused to sell.
The have been linked with another move for the Dutch international during the January transfer window.
Smith however feels that the Reds should sign Evans by saying, “Yes I could (see Jonny Evans signing), definitely, definitely. I think it will be hard for West Brom if the money was right.
“Jonny’s a really solid citizen as well, you know what you are getting with him coming into the dressing room. He’s a good lad, highly experienced, knows what it’s about playing for a big club at Manchester United. It’s a no-brainer for a few managers I think that.”
