# Liverpool: Fans urge club to sign ‘unreal prospect’ Dayot Upamecano

**After being linked with RB Leipzig’s Dayot Upamecano, Liverpool fans are now urging the club to snap up the Frenchman this summer.**

[According to AS,](https://en.as.com/en/2020/03/22/football/1584877709_617749.html) Upamecano is on Liverpool’s ‘three-man shortlist’ to replace Dejan Lovren in the upcoming transfer window.

In Leipzig’s most recent match – which was their 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League – the centre-back put in a superb shift across the backline. In the heart of his side’s back three, Upamecano completed six tackles, five clearances and wasn’t dribbled past a single time. He also won 10 duels out of 15 attempted and completed 3/3 dribbles (via [Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/team/football/rb-leipzig/36360)).

The French youth international is currently valued at £45million (via [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dayot-upamecano/profil/spieler/344695)).

Despite Joe Gomez proving a good partner for Virgil van Dijk in defence, fans would love to see Upamecano join Liverpool’s ranks. One Reds supporter has boasted that the French centre-half is ‘one of the best players’ they’ve ever watched, whilst another has branded Upamecano an ‘unreal prospect’.

> Upamecano is the best option, young and so much potential. He will become of the best CB in the world.

> None of them would want to play backup. But Upamecano is one of the best players I’ve ever watched live. He was incredible against spurs.
