3. An experienced head
The signings that Liverpool have been looking to do have been youngsters below the age of 23, high-potential players with good resale value. However, that has meant that there is a general lack of experience in the side apart from a handful of players. Inler would be a step towards addressing that problem. He has shown that he has the ability to lead a transformation as he has proved with Napoli, and Liverpool will benefit from his experience.
He is a leader by example who makes tackles and works hard in order to drive his team forwards. The 29 year old is the captain of the Swiss national team and is one of the most highly rated players in the Serie A in his role. With Steven Gerrard approaching the twilight of his career, Inler could be the man to guide Liverpool’s midfield in the short term before they find a successor, and he still has at least 3-4 years of top level football left in him before he starts to decline. Napoli won’t sell him easily, but if Liverpool manage to sign him, it will solve a lot of their midfield woes.
