Journalist says Liverpool are in pole position for their first January transfer
There is no denying that the Anfield player is a world-class player and one of the top right-backs in the game at this moment. Even though his defensive abilities have been under scrutiny on several occasions.
However, his performances with fewer defensive responsibilities on his shoulders have proven to be more influential in certain games.
If he chooses to take responsibility for a more attacking role than right-back, then he can impact the games in more ways with his defense-breaking passes.
Whether Klopp chooses him to handle a more forward role still remains a question worth pondering. He most certainly has shown and is showing the signs of being ready to take responsibility.
An ardent football fan and a proud Red. I take immense pleasure in analyzing the intricacies of the game.
