– Liverpool are closing on the signing of a £30m Holland midfielder – with a little gentle push from Georginio Wijnaldum, Man Utd are in for FC Nordsjaelland forward, while Saturday’s transfer gossip claims Arsenal want a Sporting star dubbed ‘the new Kaka’.
WIJNALDUM HELPS LIVERPOOL TO GRAVENBERCH
Liverpool are reportedly ready to swoop for Ajax midfielder Ryan Gravenberch as they seek a new addition to their midfield.
The Reds are a man lighter in their engine room now after Georginio Wijnaldum’s move to Paris Saint-Germain. Indeed, they will feel the absence of the 30-year-old – who was almost ever-present – greatly. Following his departure, though, differing reports have emerged about Klopp’s plans for his team.
The German manager could reportedly allow Curtis Jones to step up to a more pivotal role next season. Klopp has also looked at bringing in fellow countryman Florian Neuhaus from Borussia Monchengladbach.
