Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp remains keen to invest in his midfield after signing Alexis Mac Allister.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp reportedly wants a transfer pursuit of Manu Kone to be prioritised after the Reds confirmed the signing of Alexis Mac Allister. Klopp remains keen to continue strengthening his midfield and supposedly believes the Borussia Monchengladbach starlet should be targeted next.
The Premier League side have identified midfield as a key area of concern ahead of the summer window. Several key midfielders struggled for form last season, while long-serving players James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all departed
t was reported Mac Allister rejected the advances of United because he wanted to link up with Liverpool, despite the fact they missed out on a top-four finish. That then persuaded Erik ten Hag to make his move for Chelsea star Mason Mount who is nearing a move to Old Trafford in the coming weeks.
And the 24-year-old has explained his thirst for winning trophies, which began after tasting success with Argentina at the World Cup six months ago, was a major factor in his decision to choose the Reds.
Since I won the World Cup, I said that I want to win more trophies and I think that this club will help me to do that,” Mac Allister told the club’s official website. “That’s the aim and when you are in a big club like this one you have to win trophies. So, that’s what I want.
Since I arrived here, I can see how big this club is – the players we have, the staff, everyone. I’m really pleased and looking forward to playing for this club.
Mac Allister’s impressive work ethic and eye for goal are just two attributes that make him an ideal signing for Jurgen Klopp’s side, who place an emphasis on attacking play and high pressing. He scored 10 goals in the Premier League last season, making him Brighton’s top goalscorer despite playing in midfield.
