da 888casino： As reported by The Daily Mail, Liverpool are tracking Victor Wanyama’s situation at Tottenham Hotspur, ahead of the potential departure of midfielder Emre Can.
What’s the story?
da doce： Can’s contract at Anfield expires at the end of the season and his long-term future at Anfield is in serious doubt amidst reported interest from Serie A giants Juventus.
If he does leave, Jurgen Klopp will need a midfield replacement and it seems the club are preparing for such an eventuality with their interest in a Premier League rival.
The Daily Mail report that the Reds are keeping a track of Victor Wanyama’s progress in Mauricio Pochettino’s first team, with the Kenyan international struggling to become a regular starter after a return from injury.
The player, rated at £27m by Transfermarkt, is also drawing admirers from Chelsea and Manchester United, say the paper.
Would he fit in at Liverpool?
With Klopp always looking to play an expansive, attacking brand of football, a player in the mould of Victor Wanyama can bring great balance to the Liverpool midfield.
The 26-year-old tends to favour the defensive side of the game more than pressing forward, with his physicality, stamina and work rate all attributes that make him a fearsome Premier League midfielder when he’s playing well.
He isn’t just midfield muscle though, with his pass success percentage for Spurs creeping over 90% for Tottenham this season, as shown by Whoscored.
Working with the other talents at Anfield, the Kenyan could be exactly what Liverpool are looking for to find that sweet spot between defensive stability and attacking prowess.
