“I will love to play for Liverpool” – Liverpool plotting January move for £31m superstar to solve midfield crisis as potential Naby Keita replacement after sending transfer message

Liverpool are interested in signing PSV Eindhoven midfielder Ibrahim Sangare in the January transfer window, according to Calcio Mercato (h/t CaughtOffside).

The Ivory Coast international joined PSV two years ago after leaving French club Toulouse, and since then, he has made a significant impact in the Eredivisie.

He has currently played 98 games for the Dutch team, scoring eight goals and dishing out six assists.

James Milner has been forced to start more games than Reds manager Jurgen Klopp would have preferred due to the team’s injury issues.

Even though he may be dependable, the 36-year-old lacks the midfielder’s creative flair and has lost several yards of speed. Thiago Alcantara made his injury comeback in Liverpool’s UEFA Champions League opener against Napoli.

However, Liverpool’s Champions League group stage roster has been changed to exclude Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita.

The former Arsenal midfielder and the international for Guinea are both now out with injury.

Jordan Henderson, the team’s captain, is also out after hurting his hamstring in a 2-1 victory over Newcastle United on August 31.

The Reds’ season has gotten off to a dismal start due to the dearth of talent on the bench.

They have only accumulated nine points from their first six league games, placing them eighth in the standings.

On September 7, Napoli defeated the Merseysiders 4-1 in group stage of the UEFA Champions League.
