FSG now plotting first signing for new Liverpool manager, he shoots more than 92% of defenders
Liverpool’s pursuit of defensive reinforcements has taken centre stage in pursuit of Adarabioyo following the unexpected announcement of Jurgen Klopp’s departure at the end of the season.
With Joel Matip set to leave upon the expiry of his contract, attention has turned to securing a replacement, and the focus is reportedly on Fulham’s Adarabioyo.
Matip’s impending departure leaves a void in Liverpool’s defensive lineup, and Adarabioyo could be the answer, potentially joining the Reds on a free transfer, akin to Matip’s initial understated arrival.
At 26 years old, Adarabioyo brings a blend of youth and Premier League experience, making him an appealing prospect for Liverpool.
Statistical comparisons between Adarabioyo and Matip for the current season highlight the former’s potential contribution to the team.
Notably, Adarabioyo stands out as a defender who isn’t afraid to contribute offensively, with a shooting frequency surpassing 92% of defenders.
Standing at an imposing 6 feet 5 inches, he also poses a threat during set pieces, adding an unexpected dimension to Liverpool’s attacking options.
Fulham manager Marco Silva has acknowledged Adarabioyo’s significance, describing him as a key player and a leader in the dressing room.
Silva’s praise, coupled with Adarabioyo’s statistical impact, positions the Fulham defender as a potential key signing for Liverpool as they navigate the challenging task of rebuilding their squad in the post-Klopp era.
