What Fabrizio Romano has heard about Joe Gomez’s situation at Liverpool after Aston Villa transfer interest

Liverpool ended up keeping Joe Gomez at the club in the summer despite plenty of interest from Aston Villa, but it doesn’t look as if that’s benefitted the Englishman so far.

Arne Slot has opted to use Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate as his preferred pairing at the heart of the defence t💟his season.

Jarell Quansah was in the immediate plans of Sl🍒ot, but his opening 45-minute cဣameo against Ipswich Town appears to have knocked him down the pecking order, as he’s not been seen since.

Liverpool decided against signing another centre-back in the summer transfer window, despite Liverpool links to Goncalo Inacio towards the end of the window.

Now, this leaves them with Van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Konate, Nathaniel Phillips and Quansah.

However, Gomez has struggled for minutes this season and Fabrizio Romano has prov🌠ided the latest update on his situation.

Crystal Palace and F🦹ulham wanted Joe Gomez back in the summer, but nothing came of it.

Gomez only has 11 minutes to his name which came recently again🅺st AC Milan, as Arne Slot looks to chop and change things with a busy schedule.

With the Carabao Cup returning💜 on Wednesday, there could be the perfect opportunity for the Englishman to showcase his talents to Slot.

Interestingly, Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on G𒈔omez’s situation at Liverpool when spe𒈔aking to .

“There are no concrete movements so far fo༒r Liverpool’s Joe Gomez, despite recent interest.

“Aston Villa didn’t sign a centre-back in August due 🌸to Financial Fair Play🅰 restrictions, and Newcastle wanted Guehi.

“At the moment, it’s quiet and the next months𝓰 will be important to understand h🔯ow much Slot will use Gomez with rotations in several competitions.”

What does Arne Slot think of Joe Gomez?

Joe Gomez, who is valued at £30 million, was praised by Arne Slot for wไorking r♎eally hard after returning from the Euros, but we now know Slot can’t have been that impressed as he’s barely been seen.

“It has been in the right place for three weeks. He has worked really h𒅌ard since he came back.

“He didn’t play a lot in the Euros and when he came back in the first sessions he couldn’t train the whole session so we had to manage his load and that was also a bit a reason why he w𓂃asn’t in the team on Saturday.

“But this week he had a good week in terms of load and how 𓆏much h🐭e could do with the team.

“He is one o💝f the players that I see new things from and learn things what I see from him, a💮lso combined with other players. It has been a good week for him and us until now.

“At this moment I am expecting everyone to be here. (But) e🦋verything can change.”
