Report: Liverpool weigh up move for defender famous for one of football’s worst haircuts

Liverpool are reportedly exploring a potential transfer for a player whose on-pitch ability is far more convincing than his choice of hairstyle.

With Conor Bradley sidelined long-term, the Reds have been linked with Borussia Dortmund’s Julian Ryerson, a versatile full-back who can operate across the defence. The Norwegian has impressed in Germany with his energy, reliability and attacking output, making him an appealing option for Arne Slot.

However, Ryerson has also become known for a truly eye-catching leopard-print haircut that has drawn plenty of attention for all the wrong reasons. While it’s hardly a deal-breaker, it’s the kind of trim that makes you do a double take.

Jokes aside, the 26-year-old boasts one goal and ten assists this season for club and country, underlining his impact at both ends of the pitch. With Liverpool light at right-back following Bradley’s injury, Ryerson’s versatility could make him a smart short-term solution—haircut and all.
