Liverpool are planning to make a variety of daring strikes within the winter market in response to one report.
Soccer Insider now declare that the Merseysiders are prioritising the signing of a holding midfielder within the upcoming January switch window.
This follows the Reds’ failure to land Martin Zubimendi in the summertime – a call the Spaniard is known to not remorse.
It stays to be seen whether or not Arne Slot’s outfit will look to return for the 25-year-old within the coming months.
Liverpool need to signal Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze in January
If the aforementioned report from Pete O’Rourke is to be taken as gospel, Liverpool haven’t any intention of settling for only one midfield signing.
Soccer Insider add that Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze is attracting severe curiosity from the Premier League giants forward of January.
The ‘excellent footballer’ (within the phrases of chairman Steve Parish) gained’t come cheaply after all. A proposal between the £50-60m mark is taken into account probably appropriate to tempt the Eagles into parting methods with one other star expertise.
Eberechi Eze would compete with Dominik Szoboszlai
Amidst criticism of Dominik Szoboszlai’s output within the remaining third, we are able to perceive why a participant just like the Palace midfielder has been linked with a change to Anfield.
The 26-year-old has already racked up three objectives and an help (the identical variety of aim contributions as our No.8 to be fully honest) in 2024/25.
By Eze’s requirements, nevertheless, that’s a little bit of a drop-off from the prior marketing campaign by which he amassed 11 objectives and 4 assists in 27 Premier League appearances.
That’s greater than backed up statistically, with FBref placing the footballer within the ninetieth percentile for non-penalty xG (in comparison with Szoboszlai’s fiftieth percentile rating)
If Liverpool are in search of a dynamic attacking midfielder to maintain our Hungarian accountable – they may do a lot worse than the Englishman!
