Gutierrez shone in the French capital

Though Girona fell to a 1-0 defeat on their Champions League debut, Gutierrez' performance has received a huge amount of praise and will have escalated interest from the Premier League clubs, with Ukrainian winger Tsygankov was relatively subdued against PSG.

As per Sofascore, the 23-year-old won four of his five duels (80%), completed three tackles, made three clearances, completed 78% of his passes, executed one key pass and found a teammate with three of his five attempted long balls.

Gutierrez demonstrated his impressive skill set on Wednesday night with and without the ball, showing signs of why he could be a suitable successor for Andy Robertson.

The Scotsman, whose contracted until 2026, remains a mainstay in Liverpool's side and has been a legendary figure of the successes achieved under Jurgen Klopp.

But everyone's time comes eventually, and it seems the Reds want to prepare well in advance for departures of their biggest stars.
