Liverpool should strongly consider a move for Bruno Fernandes.
Liverpool tried and failed to sign Nabil Fekir last summer and mixed messages remain over the Frenchman’s future. The Mirror report it is ‘unclear’ if they will return with a summer offer.
One player they should strongly consider as an alternative is Sporting CP attacker Bruno Fernandes.
The Portugal international is in the form of his life and can’t stop scoring.
This season he has 23 goals and 12 assists already in all competitions.
It’s reminiscent of the figures Roberto Firmino amassed at Hoffenheim from a similar role before joining the Reds.
The Brazilian has moved further forward into a striker role, which would allow Fernandes to play in the same side.
Despite Liverpool’s fantastic season, they have yet to properly replace Philippe Coutinho, who was sold in January 2018.
Fernandes is ending the season strongly, netting in his last three consecutive matches.
It’s going to be really hard for Sporting to hold onto him this summer, and Liverpool should look to the 24-year-old to make them truly unstoppable.
For the Reds’ defensive improvement, their attack has lost a little impact this season.
Fernandes is a clear cut solution to the issue, and the prospect of him in Jurgen Klopp’s side is mouth watering.
