LeBron James offers to play for Liverpool on their pre-season US tour

We reckon he’d make a beast of a central defender.

Now that Martin Skrtel is finally set to seal his move to Fenerbahce, Liverpool could probably use a bit more defensive cover and it looks like they’ve found the perfect man.

LeBron James has offered his services to Jurgen Klopp and, given the Reds’ issues from set pieces over the last couple of seasons it’s probably not a bad idea to throw all 6ft 8in of the Cleveland Cavalier into the backline.

James is a minority shareholder in Liverpool Football Club, having bought a stake in 2011, and visited Anfield the same year for a 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
