3. Add Depth To Liverpool Side
At Liverpool, if he does make the move over to Merseyside, he will be deployed as a midfielder where he can use his technique and passing to make an impact on the game. Although his passing accuracy is 79% so far this season, a sizable chunk of those have been the erratic long balls that he has attempted while playing as a central defender. The left-footed midfielder has the ability to make the step up to the big league, but as evidenced by his up-and-down performances this season, he will need time to improve and gain the consistency required to compete at the highest level.
Addition of him will definitely add good depth to this paper thin Liverpool side. He may not be the signing who will make an instant impact in Liverpool’s chase for a champions league spot, but he is surely one for the future.
