Sensational midfielder just showed he's ready to join Liverpool
Liverpool need a midfielder, and one exciting player has definitely showed he's ready to join Andoni Iraola's side.
At this stage, it's very clear the Spaniard has his favourite midfield pairing in his double pivot system.
Liverpool are the strongest under Iraola when Trey Nyoni is playing alongside Alexis Mac Allister. The two of them are a lot more composed on the ball, and they are very intelligent at receiving and passing the play along.
Few would have envisaged that this was going to be the case even a few months ago. After all, Nyoni was struggling for game time under Arne Slot.
Meanwhile, Mac Allister was in really poor form under the previous management. So much so that Liverpool prioritised extending Ryan Graveberch's and Dominik Szoboszlai's contracts.
That's a choice they might regret now.
Liverpool could be signing a new midfielder in January
The truth is that Gravenberch, and Szoboszlai have struggled in the double pivot. Neither really seems suited for the role. Individually, they are both good players but collectively they are unable to hold their position and receive under pressure.
Neither player is good at breaking lines or playing the ball forward quickly which is what Iraola wants from his players.
At the same time, neither offer a great deal of defensive protection, which is something Liverpool are also lacking in the middle of the park.
It's why it's no surprise that Lamine Camara is on the club's radar.
Liverpool have already made promises to his representatives last summer that he would be on the club's radar in 2027 and as January approaches that is still likely to be the case.
Lamine Camara confirms he is ready to join Liverpool
Nobody in Ligue 1 this season has won possession as many times as Camara (86). He is an extremely intelligent footballer who reads the game very well.
Currently, he is on international duty with Senegal, and it is where he produced his latest confirmation that he is ready to join the Reds.
In a crucial 4-1 AFCON qualifier against Sudan, Camara won the most tackles on the pitch (5), which he is making a habit of this season. He's won the most tackles in five games now for club and country this season, which is another confirmation of why he's ready to make the step-up to Anfield.
Camara is simply the perfect option for Liverpool. He keeps showing why he's ready to join. A January transfer just makes so much sense.
