Jurgen Klopp reportedly tried to sign Piero Hincapie earlier this monthBayer Leverkusen have rejected an approach from Liverpool to land defender Piero Hincapie ahead of next week's transfer deadline, according to reports. The Reds have not made any January signings as of yet, only welcoming back a handful of fringe players from loan spells elsewhere. Liverpool's defensive injuries have sparked calls for Jurgen Klopp to sign a new centre-back in his final transfer window before leaving the club at the end of the season. The Ecuador international was targeted earlier this month by Liverpool but the Reds saw their approach rebuffed, according to Anfield Watch. The report adds that Liverpool have earmarked Hincapie as the ideal candidate to fill their left-sided central defensive position from next season onwards.
