From the source

Liverpool look like they've got a free run to sign one of Europe's top midfielders. Can anyone even stop them from here?Liverpool need a midfielder.

We’ve said that for a while, dating back into last season as their control over the middle of the pitch was pretty weak for a team hoping to compete at the very top of the game.The Reds lacked - and still lack - either someone to consistently win the ball back or someone to dictate the middle of the pitch.

We thought they’d move in the summer but instead sold Curtis Jones, arguably their best at the latter, and didn’t replace him.The start of the season has shown a real dependence on Trey Nyoni and while he’s clearly a huge talent, he’s also a teenager.
