Liverpool could get a star with 'Mane in Saints vibes'

Liverpool One day late and the dollar is in short supply Premier League Last season, in hindsight, great Jurgen KloppIt seems that the decision to step down was the right one.

Arnie slot He is thriving at the helm, raising a group of talented players and pushing them towards a Premier League title challenge, and perhaps a chance to win the title. UEFA Champions League The cup too.

FSG They're stuck with a bit of a reputation for being overly cautious in the transfer market, which is reflected by Federico Chiesa being the only addition to the Slot project so far (he's struggled with injuries and only started one game).

But January. Ah, January. It's a busy month, for Anfield officials.

Liverpool's best deals in January

In recent years, Liverpool have taken advantage of several winter opportunities to strengthen their front line, including… Luis Diaz and Cody Steele In successive January windows. Both have been staples of Slot's squad this season.

On the way back, though, you'll find… A £23m deal to sign Ajax's Luis Suarez He was withdrawn at the deadline in January 2011. The Uruguayan may not have lifted any silverware but he is one of the best players of all time.

Of course, no January acquisition can confidently claim to have been better or more transformative than this one Virgil van Dijk. Liverpool's strong captain He left Southampton for Merseyside in a £75m deal In the middle of the 2017/18 season, which proved to be the catalyst for brilliant success.

One of the greatest defenders of his generation, the Dutch giant continues to star in Liverpool's title-chasing side and is undoubtedly one of the team's most iconic players.

Now, Liverpool are looking to sign another exciting winter signing in Napoli Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

The perfect alternative to Kvaratskhelia in Liverpool

Paris Saint-Germain are looking to complete a deal for the Serie A leaders' winger this month, but multiple sources – Including the athlete – Report that Liverpool is aware of the situation and could seek to hijack the deal.

I don't want to be practical, it's PSG We are With the race as controlled as things are, however, it may be better for Liverpool to launch a bid for the Premier League star instead.

actually, According to Sky Sports this monthLiverpool were monitoring Brentford Brian Mbeumo They may be tempted to complete the deal, even though the bees will do so We are looking to demand at least £50 million For their precious introduction.

Sky Germany recently revealed Arsenal have shortlisted the French and Newcastle United striker Known fans too. If Liverpool have the money to spend on such a player, why not make a move now?

Why should Liverpool sign Brian Mbeumo?

Mbeumo has gone from strength to strength under Thomas Frank this season, scoring 13 goals in the Premier League – a tally bettered only by Mohamed Salah and Manchester City's Erling Haaland.

Kvaratskhelia is certainly the bigger name, but Liverpool's savvy could pay off if they move for Mbeumo. Analyst Ben Mattinson has already spoken highly The French star who sparked 'Mane vibes at Southampton' is practically begging a high-profile suitor to come along and put him in a more prominent position.

The 25-year-old has his prime years ahead of him, as did Mane when he was at Liverpool He was snapped up from the Saints for a fee of £34m In June 2016, when he was 24 years old.

Mane He scored 120 goals and added 42 assists During 269 appearances for the Anfield side, he won the entire series and was described as a “machine” in the final third By Jurgen Klopp.

Primarily playing on the left flank, the Senegalese star's positional flexibility has been one of his key strengths throughout his successful career, something Mbeumou could emulate as his natural late successor.

Mbeumo could emulate the Al Nasr player now by arriving from a 'lower' club in the Premier League and becoming a European star, which is very much in line with how FSG would like to act in the transfer market.

Furthermore, Slott has shown that he has a tendency to switch his strikers, with Luis Diaz in particular playing regularly and having great success as a number nine. This is what Jurgen Klopp did with Mane, and Slot can now follow suit.

Mbeumo has characteristics that are well suited to the striker's division and boasts an impressive record as Frank moved to the ninth position. Let's not forget that Ivan Toni left last summer and took all his energy with him, but that is rarely felt with the inclusion of Mbeumo and Yoani Wessa so emphatic.

According to FBrefthe £45,000 per week He ranks in the top 5% of his peers in the Premier League this season in terms of goals scored (0.65) and in the top 13% in terms of crosses (4.92) per 90.

He is athletic and balanced in the execution of his attacking qualities, with positional flexibility and of course a natural goal-scoring ability which may give the claim that he has Mane's talents some substance.

Liverpool are on the hunt for a new striker, with Kvaratskhelia being the name on the table at the moment. However, Mbeumo might be the better choice, as he has the skills and style to make him Slot's very own version of Mane.
