This smells of an Edwards coup – Reds should sign ‘bargain’ star ‘on the cheap’

Several Liverpool fans on Twitter have suggested that the club ought to sell Nat Phillips and bring back Ozan Kabak from Schalke this summer.

Kabak signed for Liverpool on a short-term loan deal in the January transfer window, initially appearing in the starting XI before being displaced towards the latter stages of the campaign.
