Liverpool’s quest for Wilfred Ndidi seems to have come to an end with the player committing again to Leicester City.
”Ndidi is happy at Leicester City, he is one hundred percent committed to Leicester City and it’s confirmed he’s not leaving the club to join Liverpool,” a top source who spoke to the Super Eagles star told allnigeriasoccer.com.”Liverpool have not contacted him about joining the club.”
With Ndidi out of the picture, here are three players Liverpool can look at for next season.
Julian Weigl
The young German is highly talented and was named the youngest ever captain of his previous club 1860 Munich at the age of 18. He is good on the ball, has a way past defenders, well-disciplined and knows his game and limitations inside out. However, at the age of 22, what is perhaps most impressive about him is his ability to stick to the tactical game plan word to word and carry out instructions by the letter.
If Weigl were to move, he would form a part of a three-man midfield alongside Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita. While Henderson will be tasked with holding and shielding his defence, Weigl’s ability to spread the game would free up Liverpool’s attack to create mayhem in the final third for the opposition.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic
The 22-year old Serbian midfielder currently plays for Lazio. The central midfielder is an action-packed player and has a tenacious engine to keep playing 90 minutes day in day out. His added quality of having a keen eye for goal is however what sets him apart for someone his age. With years of peak football ahead of him; it is no secret why the big clubs would want to add him.
Since his move to Lazio in the summer of 2015, Savic has made over 100 appearances for the club scoring around 20 goals and creating another 20. He will no doubt add many more as he continues to develop and Liverpool could do with a player like him.
Arturo Vidal
The midfield dynamo from Chile is a mainstay in the middle of the park for them and has a playing style that makes him an ideal modern day midfielder. He is smart on the ball and has a peripheral range of distribution. However, what makes him a world class midfielder is the fact that he is an absolute nightmare to deal with when off the ball. He can cover every blade of grass on a weekly basis and has a knack for the outrageous shots from outside the box.
Vidal’s ability to tackle, pass and bully complimented with Henderson’s experience of knowing when to sit back and when to push forward would make their pairing invaluable.
