Liverpool send scouts to watch Dutch sensation in action

Liverpool send scouts to watch Dutch sensation in action Andoni Iraola still has a lot of work to do to his Liverpool squad. Before Sunday's 3-0 defeat against Manchester City, it did feel like things were heading the right way. However, after Ryan Gravenberch got sent off, everything went pear-shaped with hardly any of Liverpool's first-team squad performing to the standards expected of them. This resulted in many questions being asked about what the future has in store for the Reds which then led to many different transfer rumours emerging. And now, Liverpool seem to have actually sent scouts to look at their next potential transfer target. Liverpool will have scouts watching Gijvaij Zechiel vs Como Gijvaij Zechiel is almost certainly a player that most Liverpool fans won't have heard of. The 22-year-old currently plies his trade for Feyenoord in the Eredivisie. So far this season, the Netherlands international has featured in nine games and has contributed to nine goals. With statistics like these, you'd expect him to be a striker or a winger but, in reality, he's actually used as a number eight or a number 10. Indeed, Liverpool do have multiple players who can already play in those positions but, with the recent rumours surrounding Gilberto Mora's potential Anfield switch , it's clear that Liverpool want to bring a new number 10 in. Obviously, there are many options for the Reds to explore but, as per a fresh update form TuttoMercatoWeb, Zechiel could be one of Liverpool's main targets. "The Star of Gijvaij Zechiel is undoubtedly one of the most expected in the international transfer market in the next sessions," the Italian outlet wrote . "The offensive midfielder of Feyenoord will be one of the great special observers today in the match between the Rotterdam team and the Como of Cesc Fabregas. "The company that seems most interested in the services of the Dutchman with a view to the future is Liverpool, which has been present at De Kuip for some time to follow the development of the player and should also carefully observe the Champions match against the Larians." Gijvaij Zechiel is one to watch for Liverpool As mentioned, Liverpool have got their eyes on many players at the moment. Every other day it feels like a new link emerges which, in the grand scheme of things, is obviously good news. However, if they find too many potential targets, they could end up going for the wrong one. Zechiel has been on the cusp of Feyenoord's first-team for some time now with the midfielder even spending the last couple of seasons on loan to Sparta Rotterdam and FC Utrecht. And now, thanks to his impressive performances last term, he's finally being given a chance to prove his worth. So far, he's taken the opportunity with both hands and has smashed it out of the park. However, since he's only ever played in the Eredivisie, it's unclear whether his skillset will transfer over to one of Europe's top five leagues, especially to a team such as Liverpool. So, as good as Zechiel looks, it feels like Liverpool should wait a little longer before making their final decision on him, especially since the future of some players such as Alexis Mac Allister still aren't decided yet.
