KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Current PL players worth taking a chance on in the summer?

I thought I'd start a thread on players currently at other PL clubs that would be worth taking a chance on this summer to bolster our squad depth.

I'll start with Wilfried Zaha - just turned 25 in Nov 17 and would give us a backup option to Salah. He is fast and skillful and would suit Klopp's style of play. The only ? would be the knee injury (the only injury he's ever had in his career) he's currently suffering from.

Another one who always plays well against us and would give us an immediate boost in our weak midfield - Leroy Fer of Swansea just turned 28 in Jan 18 and is not really the type of player FSG would go for because of his age. However I'm certain he would be an upgrade on the likes of Hendo and with Can now certain to go we need upgrades in the middle. Fer is not scared to put his foot in, has great vision with his passing and has a decent shot on him.
Currently out after having Achilles tendon surgery, he would not cost much and would be worth the risk of bolstering our current Dutch contingent in our squad of VVD & Gini.

Doucoure looks like a good replacement for Can , been quite impressed with him

Zaha would cost a fortune imo, so probably not worth it for a back up.

I saw Alderweireld quoted at 44m. He’s not that young anymore but a great defender. Him and VVD would be a great CB pairing.

Mahrez could be worth a shout, but would probably cost a fair bit.

The player I would like to see is Sessegnon...he's gonna be a top star if he keeps progressing however I feel he is nailed on for bigger clubs than us as in City, United or Chelsea, heard Barca are sniffing around him too...
If he fancies a stepping stone before he goes on to bigger things then we may be in with a shout, thing is Spurs have been linked for ages and he might feel more comfortable living in London...really top talent tho...

Alderweireld would be a great signing, but would Spurs sell to us?

Really hard these days to get another top 6 club to strengthen a rival, unless City offer stupid money and even sillier wages.

Grzegorz Krychowiak really impressed me when WBA beat us in FA Cup, really seemed to have time on the ball, never looked flustered, sign of a class player, he is on loan from PSG, so can't see WBA keeping him as they will be relegated, so I think we could even get him on loan as I can't see him playing at PSG, he's 28 so at his peak and has lots of experience.

Glen Murray for a plan B.

Docoure. At Watford has done well.
Krychowiak at WBA has done well despite the team being garbage.
Alderweireld would be perfect for us.

I've liked what I've seen of Steve Mounie at Huddersfield. He's a big striker. With a bit of pace too.

Players from the championship I'd like are James Maddison. And Ryan Sessegnon

Jamal Lascelles from Newcastle looks really good too.
