Tony Cascarino has claimed that Manu Kone will join Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool this summer from German side Borussia Monchengladbach.
After adding Alexis Mac Allister to their ranks, the former striker claimed that Manu Kone will also join Liverpool, amid rumours from his home country of France, as he told talkSPORT.
The 22-year-old is one of the top upcoming midfielders in Europe and Cascarino thinks he will help ‘reinvent’ Jurgen Klopp’s midfield.
These major changes were needed last summer, or even before that.
But the Reds weren’t pro-active enough and, as a result, they have shot themselves in the foot, which is why they won’t be playing Champions League football next season.
Either way, there is no time to feel sorry for yourself, as Cascarino thinks Liverpool will just continue to steam forward in the transfer market.
“Like I said, Manu Kone is one they have been looking at,” said Cascarino.
“It has been talked about in France that he is going to Liverpool. That has been out there for a while. I do think they are reinventing that midfield and it was necessary.”
Manu Kone would be a top addition
Energy, bite, and the ability to suffocate the opposition and drive with the ball is what Liverpool needs if they are to challenge at the top again.
Mac Allister provides that, as he showcased during his time at Brighton and when he won the 2022 Qatar World Cup with Argentina.
And, if Kone joins him, then he would bring those skills, as well as the ability to win the ball and help the creative stars cook in the final third.
