Liverpool unveiled their seventh signing of the summer today in Javier Manquillo. He joins Rickie Lambert, Emre Can, Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, Lazar Markovic, and Loic Remy. Brendan Rodgers has quite the task in replacing Luis Suarez and his 31 goals. The controversial, polarizer striker has severe character concerns, but he was still best player in the league.

All that cash Liverpool received from Barcelona puts them in a great position to rebuild.

According to Here is the City, Javier Manquillo:

On Merseyside he will be in competition with Glen Johnson and Jon Flanagan for the right-back spot in the side, as he adds depth to a Liverpool team preparing to compete on four fronts this season with the side entering the Champions League for the first time in five years.

At 20-years-old, he and Flanagan may be the long-term competitors for the right-back role with Glen Johnson entering the final year of his contract at Anfield.

Manquillo’s versatility will have been an attraction to manager Brendan Rodgers having filled in on the left flank during his time at the Vicente Calderon.
