Liverpool to plot a move for Ruben Neves?

Neves might not be the blockbuster Jude-like signing that the fans would be expecting this season. However, he has been a key part of the squad since they were promoted, after a record-breaking season in Championship. They surprised everyone the following season and have been in the PL ever since.

Although things haven’t been as good as they expected, they have not been in the relegation battle. Moreover, they have been a midtable club and are currently 13th in the table. He arrived in the summer of 2017 and was named the Supporters and Players’ Player of the Season. The midfielder has continued to impress in the Premier League, ever since.

Now under Julen Lopetegui, he has 40 appearances across all competitions and has 6 goals and an assist. While these stats don’t seem impressive, the 26-year-old could be hitting his prime and under Klopp, could flourish.

He is also known for his outrageous long-distance goals and elegant free-kick goals. Liverpool already have a pass master in Alexander-Arnold and Neves could link up with the Englishman.
