He is expected to leave the club soon. A move to Liverpool could be ideal for him. It will be a big step up in his career and will test him at the highest level. He will be playing with the best defenders in the world and that will help him develop further. <\/p>\n<p>Virgil van Dijk could be the ideal mentor for the 21-year-old central defender. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liverpool_could_use_Ordonez\"><\/span>Liverpool could use Ordonez<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joel Ordonez warming up for Club Brugge (Photo by Francesco Scccianoce\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It is no secret that Liverpool are in need of quality central defenders, with Ibrahima Konate in particular expected to leave the club on a free transfer. The France international will become a free agent at the end of the season but has not yet signed an extension with the club. Liverpool need to start planning for a replacement and the young defender could be the ideal replacement. <\/p>\n<p>The Ecuadorian player has the physical and technical characteristics to thrive in the Premier League and could be a key player for the Premier League champions. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can make a deal. They have the resources to persuade Belgian clubs to sell players. <\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool manager Arne Slott thanked the fans after the pre-season friendly.
