€90 million star proves he really is ready for Anfield

€90 million star proves he really is ready for Anfield Issues in the middle of the park have blighted the start of Andoni Iraola’s Liverpool career. The Spaniard has found one of the best defensive partnerships in world football with Jeremy Jacquet and Virgil van Dijk and has got the Reds’ forward line firing. The problem that remains unsolved is Liverpool’s midfield, and specifically trying to find balance in a unit full of talented players. Several top midfielders have been linked with Merseyside moves as a result, and adding another midfielder feels like a top priority for the January window. One of Liverpool’s targets was in action on Thursday night, and he may have sealed his move to Anfield. Liverpool’s €90m target shines on international stage One of the most exciting midfielders linked with a move to Anfield in recent weeks is Borussia Dortmund’s Felix Nmecha , and the German had an electric start to the international break. Germany took on the Netherlands in Jurgen Klopp’s first game in international management, and Nmecha put his nation in the lead after 32 minutes. The 25-year-old made a smart run into the box and neatly slotted away the opener from five yards out, but it wasn’t just his goal that impressed. By most accounts Nmecha was the man of the match, and Germany’s best player in the historic first game under Klopp. Recently linked with a move to Liverpool for a fee in the region of €80-90 million (£69-77m), Nmecha continues to impress this season. The Reds could be tempted to pull the trigger on a move for the German this winter, but they will not have a free run at the player. Manchester City have already been linked, and the 25-year-old's impressive form will no doubt have other clubs on high alert too. Having already scored twice for Dortmund this season and now once for Germany, Nmecha is quickly becoming one of the most appealing options on the market, and Liverpool’s recruitment team will no doubt be keeping tabs.
