Earlier report

Liverpool have been searching for a new midfielder. Now their perfect player has announced himself. Liverpool certainly need a midfielder. The Reds needed one heading into last summer and we were actually quite shocked that they left the transfer window without one. Even more bizarre, they sold Curtis Jones and didn’t replace him. So Liverpool actually came out of the summer even lighter than they went in, despite going into the window clearly needing a midfielder. The season so far has shown the need is still there. Liverpool have gaps through the middle and look vulnerable on the counter-attack. Though, Andoni Iraola does appear to have found a fix by finding a new midfielder.
