One player whose name has popped up for Liverpool in recent days is Crystal Palace’s Cheick Doucoure. According to Neil Jones, this is a transfer rumour that should be taken very seriously.
Speaking on Redmen TV, Jones stated that he’s done some checks on these Doucoure rumours. He’s led to believe that the £70m player is absolutely someone Liverpool are looking at signing this summer.
Indeed, after it emerged that Fabinho could well be on his way out of Anfield. The rumours went into overdrive. And the Reds have been linked with pretty much every midfielder you can think of.
Doucoure could be the perfect Henderson replacement for Liverpool
Jones shared what he knows about the player:
“I’ve been doing some checks on him and I think he is definitely a name Liverpool are looking at or he’s sort of in the mix. He would be an interesting signing in that there would be questions over him on the ball, but off the ball he would add a lot and the way it was put to me is that he’d be good at stopping transitions, Fabinho at his best was brilliant at that and he’s of that ilk,” Jones said.
He’s only been in the Premier League for a year. And, in all honesty, he didn’t really pull up any trees. That is during his debut season at Palace.
However, as we’ve seen in the past with the likes of Andy Robertson. Moreover, sometimes a talented player just needs to be given the right stage to shine. However , if Doucoure is put at the heart of a Jurgen Klopp midfield, there’s every chance he could hit a new level.
