Liverpool face stiff competition for Midtjylland defender Han-beom Lee this summer. It was understood that the Reds would have to compete with Leeds United, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Brighton and Hove Albion in the race to sign the South Korean player. Lee has enjoyed a successful season at Midtjylland, putting in a series of impressive performances at the center of defence. The 23-year-old scored four goals and provided four assists in 50 games for the Danish club last season in all competitions. The South Korean talent is one of the best centre-backs in the Danish Super League, making him an attractive target for Liverpool in the current transfer window. His current contract with Midtjylland expires at the end of next season, which could open the way for the Reds to sign him at a favorable price later this year. Lee is a solid tackler and is good at recognizing threats, which allows him to make key interceptions for his team's defense. He usually wards off danger effectively when the opponent is on the offensive and also passes the ball well. Standing at a height of 1.88 m, the South Korean player is able to use his strong frame to win 50/50 aerial duels for his team. However, only time will tell whether he can continue his good form in the Premier League if the Reds manage to sign him this season. Lee would add more strength and solidity to coach Andoni Iraola's Liverpool defense. He is good enough to challenge for a regular place in the Merseyside club's squad in the coming seasons. At 23 years old, Lee will only continue to improve with each passing year, making him a great long-term addition to the Reds. It would also help Liverpool to compete in all competitions going forward. All in all, Lee would be worth the fight, so Iraola should focus on stepping up his efforts to sign him this summer transfer window.
