Liverpool need to look at elite midfielder nobody is chasing

Liverpool need to look at elite midfielder nobody is chasing Liverpool’s midfield is crying out for a fresh face, and a January addition will be high on the club’s priority list. After authorising the departure of Curtis Jones this summer without signing a replacement, the recruitment team at Anfield will have identified a long list of potential winter signings. There are several obvious candidates who have been discussed, and some of Europe’s top midfielders are being linked with Merseyside moves. For all of the big-money targets the Reds are being linked with there is one midfielder who represents a fantastic opportunity this winter, and he’s flying completely under the radar. The only midfielder Liverpool should be chasing this winter Although many people believe another big money signing is the answer in January, there is a Premier League midfielder that would be the perfect addition to Andoni Iraola’s side and he wouldn’t break the bank. Anton Stach has quietly become one of the most effective midfielders in the Premier League. Known for his elite aerial ability, his dead-ball specialties and his striking from distance, Stach is putting up numbers comparable with the very best in the division whilst playing for Leeds. There are two big drawbacks with the German though. At 27-years-old, Stach is older than the profile Liverpool typically target, and the other weakness is the midfielder's passing. Despite putting up league leading numbers in other departments, and scoring five direct free kicks since the start of last season, Stach’s short passing doesn’t stack up with his other qualities. Valued at just €19.7 million (~£17m) by FootballTransfers , a deal with Leeds would likely represent minimal risk for Liverpool and Stach’s passing weaknesses might not be as big an issue with the likes of Dominik Szoboszlai and Florian Wirtz alongside him.
