Allan is still awaiting his first Premier League game at Liverpool but is starting to show his worth on loan at Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.
Liverpool fans could be forgiven for forgetting about Allan Souza.
Three years after arriving at Anfield from Internacional for £500,000, the Brazilian midfielder has still not made a single first-team appearance for the Merseyside giants. During that time, he has spent time on loan in Finland, Belgium, Cyprus and Germany.
But it seems that someone at Liverpool rates Allan highly. After all, the 21-year-old was handed a new contract in the summer before being farmed out to German side Eintracht Frankfurt.
Allan has had a mixed start to life in the Bundesliga, however, having been left out of the match-day squad in the first three games of the season. But he finally showed what he can do against Hannover at the weekend, impressing in a 4-1 win and playing the full 90 minutes.
In quotes reported by SGE4Ever, Frankfurt coach Adi Hutter has lauded Allan’s impact.
“Allan has trained well,” said Hutter, who replaced Niko Kovac at the Commerzbank Arena this summer.
“He was running until his tongue hung out in the end. I rate his performance as very good.”
Allan spent time in Germany with Hertha Berlin in 2016/17 but he never really managed to nail down a regular place in Pal Dardai’s team, starting just eight of his 15 matches.
He will be hoping to make a bigger impression in his second Bundesliga spell.
