Speculation is mounting that Liverpool want to bring a certain Serge Gnabry to Anfield.
The Reds have already signed Luis Diaz for the left-hand flank, as competition for Sadio Mane.
However, the Merseysiders might well be moving to sign a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah now, too.
According to Sky Germany, Jurgen Klopp is interested in signing the Bayern Munich winger, who joined in 2017 for only £6.8 million.
And if this goes through, Liverpool will be getting a ‘world class’ and ‘phenomenal’ talent, according to Rio Ferdinand.
The 26-year-old attacker scored four goals in a Champions League encounter at Tottenham Hotspur some years ago.
But speaking live on BT Sport during analysis of a win over Lyon, Ferdinand waxed lyrical over the former Arsenal academy starlet.
He said: “His stats are phenomenal. He’s sitting in the top level, world class. He’s come to Germany and set the place on fire, he was absolutely stunning tonight. His decision making has been extraordinary.
“I’ll go as far as to say he’s one of the most improved players in football at the moment. I don’t think anyone’s upwards trajectory is as sharp as his.”
Indeed, Gnabry has enjoyed one hell of a rise in football.
Tony Pulis didn’t deem the German attacker good enough for West Bromwich Albion once upon a time, so to win the Champions League some years later – and play a pivotal role in that success – is a remarkable achievement really.
That’s because Gnabry is a remarkable player and, at 26, could still get so much better.
If you’re a Liverpool supporter and this transfer happens, it’s definitely grounds for major excitement.
