Liverpool ready €30m deal fro counter-pressing DEMON

Liverpool have their eyes on an incredibly bright talent. A €30m bargain, perhaps?

It's a big summer for Liverpool as they aim to retool the champions. The Reds clinched the title on Sunday but are wasting no time in looking to improve.

Of course, it would be incredibly simple to sit back and rely on what's now confirmed to be the best squad in the Premier League. Instead, there will be something of an overhaul with several players leaving and replacements arriving.

Darwin Nunez is expected to leave in a big-money move, possibly to Saudi Arabia. There is interest there from Atletico Madrid, however.

Ibrahima Konate could depart, too. He enters the final year of his contract this summer and Anfield Watch understands that Paris Saint-Germain are after him.

Then there's Luis Diaz. The Colombian has blown hot and cold all season, while talks over a new contract have completely stalled.

He's now on the shortlist to leave the club - and Liverpool may have found the perfect replacement.

Liverpool eye Eliesse Ben Seghir

L’Equipe claims Liverpool are eyeing up Eliesse Ben Seghir of AS Monaco. The Reds aren't alone in that - Manchester City also want the 20-year-old - but they've been watching for some time now and have made enquiries.

A price of around €30m is thought to be enough, too - and that gets you one of the msot interesting forwards in Europe.

Ben Seghir is still only 20 but has been one of the most creative players in Ligue 1 this season. The Moroccan is involed in creating around 4.16 shots per 90 minutes this season, around the same rate as Bradley Barcola.

Ben Seghir, though, is two years younger than the PSG star.

But what really stands out about him is his pressing. Hudl Statsbomb recently showed off counter-pressing across Europe's top five leagues and the players who excel at it.

Ben Seghir is one of the very best in Europe. Only two other players win the ball back at a higher rate through counter-pressing, while he's right up there for total presses, too.

Showing that at 20 on top of an ability to create from the left-flank is magnificent. In fact, it's hard to believe you could snap him up for just €30m.

Liverpool, though, will surely need a new left winger if Diaz leaves. Someone who can help cover Cody Gakpo and offer a different dimension.

That player could be Ben Seghir and we're not sure Liverpool will find anything like a better option at anywhere near that price. Keep an eye on this one.
