Three Players Who Have Been “Pleasant Surprises” For Liverpool This Season
- Liverpool have seven wins in eight matches
- Arne Slot has quickly got his side firing on all cylinders
- Who are the most pleasant surprises so far?
3. Ibrahima Konate
After being benched for Jarell Quansah in the first game of the Premier League season, Konate looked to be the third choice in the pecking order, but after coming on at half-time in that first fixture against Ipswich Town, he hasn’t lost his place since.
Liverpool’s number five has been a key reason they’ve only conceded two goals in the league so far. Konate has formed a dominant centre-back partnership with captain Van Dijk and constantly puts out top-level performances. Lately, the Frenchman has got himself amongst the goals, with two goals and one assist in his past three games.
