Liverpool set to sign ‘one of the best defensive midfield players’ in the EPL
Liverpool have been linked with a move for Fulham’s Joao Palhinha in recent months.
Earlier this year, Dean Jones told GiveMeSport that the Reds were “in the picture” for the Portuguese midfielder.
Liverpool have already bolstered their midfield ranks this summer by signing Alexis Mac Allister.
Due to contract expirations, the Reds are apparently searching for alternative middle-fielders.
Jones has since updated the situation with Palhinha and has once more brought up Liverpool.
If the Reds made a bid for him, he claimed to GiveMeSport, Fulham “would find it really hard to hold onto him.”
Jones did emphasise that a Tottenham or Chelsea team would also have a fair chance, though.
He also mentioned the alleged interest in Palhinha from West Ham.
Jones thinks that the rumoured Liverpool target has recently been among the top defensive midfielders in the Premier League.
“I can totally understand why West Ham will be looking at Joao Palhinha because they should be looking at him,” he said.
“He has been one of the best defensive midfield players in the league over the course of the past season.
“They’re not the only team that have got an eye on him, but the question is whether he actually looks to leave Fulham for West Ham.
“If he was to have an offer from a Liverpool, Tottenham or Chelsea, then I think Fulham would find it really hard to hold onto him.”
Palhinha is the type of player Liverpool can utilise in their lineup. He has proven he possesses the skills necessary to excel in the Premier League.
It’s true that the Reds might find themselves in some challenging negotiations. According to reports, Palhinha’s club has set a £90 million valuation on him.
According to the Daily Mail article, the Portuguese have been given a £90 million price tag to “discourage potential suitors.”
The report adds that clubs feel a figure of around £50m is much fairer, but negotiations won’t be easy for the Reds or any other suitors.
