The Roma ace would be an excellent addition for Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp manager

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp will surely want to add some more creativity and guile to his midfield options before the transfer window slams shut later this week.

The Reds were a formidable force last season, but they did sometimes lack that little bit of magic from the middle of the park when their lethal front three were perhaps not firing on all cylinders, especially against rigid and stubborn backlines.

Draws against Everton, Leicester and West Ham eventually proved costly for Liverpool, as they missed out on the Premier League title by just a single point.

And with this in mind, Klopp should consider signing Roma ace Lorenzo Pellegrini.

Technical ability

The 10-capped Italy international possesses excellent technique, and his quality when in possession would undoubtedly help Liverpool improve upon he fluidity of their play through the middle of the park.

Vision and ball dispersion

Pellegrini has a wonderful array of passing, and that combined with his exceptional vision would help the Reds become even more potent in their attacking play.

Age and potential

At just 23, Pellegrini has a high ceiling, and he could go on to become one of Europe’s best central midfielders, especially under the guidance of Klopp.

According to Sky Italia, Pellegrini has a €30 million (£27.5 million) release clause inserted into his current contract with Roma, and in today’s day and age, that would represent excellent value for money for Liverpool.

Klopp must do everything he can to bring the young Italian to Anfield before the end of this week – he could turn out to be a seriously good signing for the Merseyside outfit.
