Nabil Fekir – Lyon

After an extended period this past summer spent attempting to purchase Fekir, Liverpool settled without adding an attacking midfielder.

They could very well circle back and try to acquire the 25-year old French international.

This addition would provide a major boost to Klopp’s squad, providing the ball movement from the midfield that the current squad so dearly lack.

He is built for balance and ball control, which allows him to work well in tight spaces as well as in open space. He is an excellent dribbler and using these skills can spur attacks as well as providing a supplementary force from the midfield.

He is also a great passer of the ball whether it be on the ground or through crosses, he will deliver the ball to his teammates.

Having originally been a striker has made Fekir a more selective shooter, often looking for secondary options, to create more favourable chances.

Most importantly the player wants to come here and was upset that the transfer did not get finalized last summer, thus making a move likely.
