TCHOUAMÉNI IS THE ONE?! FSG TRANSFER STRATEGY EXPOSED | Liverpool FC Latest Transfer News
Dave Davis continues Newsround with Liverpool's transfer plans moving firmly into focus following Julian Ward's return as sporting director.
Centre-back is one position generating plenty of discussion. Nico Schlotterbeck continues to be linked with Liverpool, although his status as a left-footed defender raises an obvious question about what any move could mean for Virgil van Dijk. Former Bournemouth defender Illia Zabarnyi is another name reportedly being monitored, with his limited opportunities at PSG potentially putting his future back on the agenda.
Attention then turns to midfield and one familiar dream target, Aurélien Tchouaméni. Dave explains why the Real Madrid midfielder would be an outstanding Liverpool signing, while acknowledging that his recently extended contract makes a deal extremely difficult.
A considerably more realistic option could be Lamine Camara. His Monaco numbers jump off the page, including a league-leading 46 possessions won and 26 tackles, and Dave believes the midfielder feels like an obvious candidate for Liverpool if they decide to act in January.
There's also Yankuba Minteh, with reports suggesting Liverpool retain an interest despite previously seeing bids rejected. Dave assesses why the winger's age, pace, defensive work and overall profile remain attractive, while explaining why a move would probably require an existing attacker to leave first.
