Leeds United should look at Liverpool’s Marko Grujic.
Leeds United have been linked with a move for Danny Ings [via ESPN], but his Liverpool teammate Marko Grujic would be far more suited to the club’s needs.
The team have not struggled to score goals this season, and have multiple attacking options.
Instead their problems have appeared in midfield, where Leeds have several players, but no ‘enforcer’ type.
This has cost them in consecutive away losses against Millwall, Cardiff and Sheffield Wednesday which have derailed their fantastic start to the campaign.
This is why Ings’ Liverpool under-23 teammate Marko Grujic is a far more smarter buy.
Grujic, 21, is a fantastic prospect who cuts a dominating figure in the centre of midfield at 6ft 3″.
The Reds signed him from Red Star Belgrade in January 2016, where he was already starring for their first team.
In limited opportunities he has shone since, starring for the Reds in pre-season matches, under-23 games, and cup chances.
Yet he has not got a first team run, and a loan move could be the answer.
Grujic has been likened to Nemanja Matic in his Serbian homeland, and he has already won three senior international caps for his country.
He is wasted on Liverpool’s bench at present, if he even gets that nod, and would be an ideal way for Leeds to strengthen their midfield.
