With the Echo also tipping the likes of Sebastian Coates and Tiago Ilori to be ditched this summer, there is likely to be scope for another centre back signing. Defeat to Arsenal exposed our over-reliance on Martin Skrtel and proved that further improvement is needed in this area. The future of this Belgian defender is up for debate after him spending a year out on loan at Southampton, where he’s been hugely impressive in their great season.
