With Paul Konchesky, Emiliano Insua and Fabio Aurelio all seeming unlikely to fill the first-team role in the future and Glen Johnson playing out of position, Liverpool's need to bring in a left back in the summer is no secret.
Emilio Izaguirre and a host of others have been floated as possible options, but now, reports in the Swedish press have revealed that FC Copenhagen's Oscar Wendt is the "top target" for the position, according to talkSPORT.
The 25-year-old Swedish international would come at a great price, as he is available for a free transfer this summer, though his strong performances for club and country have also brought about the interest of Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
Liverpool scout Jakob Friis-Hansen has apparently evaluated Wendt and has confirmed interest, reports Sport.co.uk.
