Khéphren Thuram – Liverpool’s New Midfield Maestro?
A dynamic midfielder, Thuram has made waves at Nice with his commanding performances. According to Davis:

The Frenchman is seen as an ideal candidate to bolster the Reds’ midfield, offering a combination of athleticism, technical skill, and an eye for goal. If the move materialises, it would not only enhance Liverpool’s squad depth but also signal a clear intent of ambition for the coming season.
Manu Koné – An Exciting Prospect For The Reds

The young midfielder has showcased his quality in Germany and could prove to be an exciting addition to Jurgen Klopp’s squad. Known for his nimbleness, agility and creativity, Koné could inject some much-needed youthful energy into the Reds’ midfield.

While terms may have been agreed with the players, the final steps of the transfer process await completion. “It could be every other day,” suggests Davis on the timeline of official announcements.

Who will be the defensive mid in this Triumvirate? I would say we need someone like Ruben Neves or Joao Palhinha
i would prefer Ruben Neves to be in the middlde
Ruben neves, thuram, kone , and Mac allister please sorted mids van de ven ,tete and goalkeeper done
ABRAHAM TAKPINY
Kone more of defense minded but still have the creativity
Nicolas Barella should be a priority. If we can get him then one off Kone or Thuram is needed.
Pleading with A field hierarchy to do the needful. A repeat of last season refusal to boilter the mid field will only depen our woes.
Adding Thuram and None will be superb business and will definitely set the tone for the coming season.
Jurgen have different ways to play football. Midfielder must be strong, hard working pressure. LFC Midfielders not scoring much goals. Midfielder must be fast to cancel contratack. Miller and Hendo was too old and too slow to secure Arnold and Robertson who’s creating goals situations Fabinio also too slowly. Kone and Thuram that what we need. Fast box to box. Strong on legs. They give freedom and security to right and left defenders to create goals. Jurgen don’t using classic 9 or creative Midfielders. We nide tough Midfielders like Yaya Ture.
