Mr Nasty Mignolet goes POV in Hong Kong
Liverpool reverse goalkeeper Simon ‘Mr Nasty’ Mignolet has gone POV while working out in a hotel in Hong Kong.
The Reds stopper posted a video of himself working out on his Instagram story, which was swifty put on the Liverpool Reddit account.
Mignolet generate the epic nickname in 2016 when he told the Echo that it was time for him to shed the image that he was a nice guy.
Jurgen Klopp asked Migs to become more aggressive between the sticks and to use his physical presence more. The Belgian stopper claimed that he wanted everyone to see his ‘Mr Nasty’.
As far as nicknames go, it’s pretty sweet. Maybe only just behind Xherdan Shaqiri’s ‘The Powercube’ name from his days with Bayern Munich.
Mignolet videod himself doing a dumbbell row from underneath – not something you’d recommend for anyone who can’t afford to replace their phone every few months after you drop a weight on them.
He’s been an amazing member of the squad this season, despite hardly getting any minutes on the pitch this season.
Alisson Becker was the undisputed first choice option and Migs played his support role really well – and as a result has been promised a move away from Anfield in order to play first team football once more.
That means Klopp is looking for another player to come in and play a reserve role – not an easy thing to recruit for. Back in May talkSPORT reported that Bournemouth could be interested in Mignolet, and they’ve already done business with Liverpool for Jordan Ibe, Nathaniel Clyne and Dominic Solanke.
In other news, the odds on Adrien Rabiot to move to Liverpool have fallen in the past few days. A few weeks ago Paddy Power was giving 16/1 odds, while now BetVictor have Rabiot to the Reds at just 6/1.
