How seemingly are Liverpool to maneuver for Simons this summer season?
Simons definitely made essentially the most of his audition in entrance of Liverpool’s scouts in opposition to Wolfsburg, and the Reds could possibly be available in the market for a left-sided attacker if Luis Diaz had been to depart in the summertime.
The Dutchman reportedly has a ‘gentleman’s settlement’ with Leipzig which’d facilitate a transfer elsewhere if he needs to maneuver on (CaughtOffside); and the Merseysiders have a long-standing relationship with the Bundesliga membership, from whom they signed Naby Keita, Ibrahima Konate and Dominik Szoboszlai in earlier years.
His supervisor Marco Rose has hailed him as a ‘difference-maker‘ for the group, and at 21 he ought to solely get even higher as he continues to develop forward of reaching the prime of his profession.
Liverpool will realise that Simons might be attainable in the event that they severely push for him this summer season, though Richard Hughes may also be desirous to strengthen different elements of Arne Slot’s squad in what David Ornstein has talked up as a doubtlessly ‘busy’ switch window.
The Netherlands worldwide mightn’t essentially be on the prime of FSG’s record of potential recruits, however we’ve seen prior to now that the Anfield hierarchy are fairly able to pouncing on an astute alternative if one had been to pop up.
