Liverpool Locked In A Three-Way Battle For This Ligue 1 Midfielder: What Will He Bring To Anfield?

In a recent report, Tuttosport mentioned that Liverpool are locked in a three-way battle for Monaco midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni. It is understood that the Reds could face competition in the form of Juventus and Chelsea in pursuit of the French midfield ace.

Tchouaméni’s Impressive Form In Ligue 1 This Season

Tchouaméni has made a strong start to this campaign as he has already produced some solid displays at the heart of Monaco’s midfield. The 21-year-old has found the back of the net twice in 15 matches for the French outfit this term across all fronts. Tchouaméni’s ability to influence the game at both ends of the field could make him a useful asset for Liverpool to consider in January or at the end of this campaign.

The Rouen-born sensation has given a good account of himself by averaging 2.9 tackles, 2.1 interceptions, 0.7 clearances, 1.9 shots and 1.2 dribbles per 90 minutes in Ligue 1. He has also taken care of the ball when distributing possession from midfield after making 88% of his attempted passes in the top tier of French football (stats via whoscored).

What Will Tchouaméni Bring To Anfield?

Tchouaméni is slowly but surely transforming himself into a solid two-way midfielder. At such a young age, he has got a bit of everything in his game which could make him a brilliant signing for Liverpool in the long-run. The French midfield ace is a tidy passer of the ball and has got a good work rate as well. He can use his robust 1.87m frame to dominate the opposition physically at the centre of the park and can even chip in with a few goals from midfield.

However, there is no denying that Tchouaméni is still quite a raw talent and would need time to cope with the high intensity of English football. The promising youngster has shown a lot of glimpses of his incredible potential in recent weeks but only time will tell whether he can be a success story in the Premier League if Liverpool manage to acquire his signature this winter or next summer.

At 21, Tchouaméni has the ceiling to become a world-class player in his position someday. We can expect him to bring plenty of competition for places within Jurgen Klopp’s match-day squad. Hence, the Reds should think about launching a move to lure him to Anfield soon.
