Liverpool need to sign a versatile attacker in the summer transfer window who can improve their offensive line. As reported by Football Insider, they have now joined the race to get the signature of Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze.
Eberechi Eze has a good profile
Eberechi Eze joined Crystal Palace from Queens Park Rangers in the summer of 2020. Since then, he has gone from strength to strength. He has improved his game drastically and has emerged as one of the most exciting attackers in the Premier League.
Eze had a decent campaign this season, where he ended up scoring 11 goals in 31 games. He also had six assists to his name. He averaged 2.7 shots, 1.8 key passes, and 2.4 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).
The English attacker is a versatile pick, who can feature in the middle as well as on both flanks. He can create chances with his accurate passing, crosses, and dribbling skills. He has also got the ability to score goals from set-pieces.
Should Liverpool invest in Eberechi Eze?
Liverpool are in need of a new attacker as the futures of Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz at Anfield are uncertain. If any of the two leave in the summer, they will need someone to fill the shoes. Hence, the club have set their eyes on Eberechi Eze.
As known to everyone, Eze is a versatile attacker who can take up multiple roles in advanced positions. He also has Premier League experience and should require less time to adapt. His numbers have been decent and are expected to get even better.
The 26-year-old can add value to the Reds’ offensive line with his creativity and finishing in the final third. To acquire the Englishman’s signature, the interested buyer will have to trigger the £60 million release clause. Apart from Liverpool, the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur are also keeping tabs on the player.
