Meanwhile, club captain Virgil van Dijk is in the twilight stages of his career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Liverpool need to bring in multiple central defenders and the 20-year-old could be a solid long-term signing for them. Manager Graham Bailey revealed on TBR Football that Liverpool are working on a number of options to improve their defensive unit, with Mikafko being one of them.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Bailey said: &#8220;I think we need to look at a player like Ordonez in January, an Ecuadorian player from Bruges, a young big talent or maybe Taras Mikavko from Kiev.

They are Premier League champions and have an ambitious project. They have world-class players at their disposal and joining a Premier League club will allow him to develop even further.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Playing regular football in England will bring out the best in him and accelerate his development.
