Liverpool see Ruiz as an alternative to Isco

Fabian Ruiz is seen an alternative to Isco for Liverpool, according to El Desmarque.

Isco has been linked with a move to Anfield in the same report, with Jurgen Klopp thought to be keen on signing him.

Ruiz has emerged an another option, however, having been tipped to make a move to the Reds in the past.

The 23-year-old impressed in both Champions League matches against Liverpool for Napoli this season.

He would represent a more expensive option than Isco, with the latter valued at €70 million (£59 million).

Ruiz would be a great signing for Liverpool, in my opinion, as well as a superior alternative to Isco.

For starters, he is four years younger and he also has more midfield dynamism, with is vital in a Klopp side.

On top of that, he possesses quality, scoring five goals and registering four assists in Serie A this season.

I think Isco is a bad fit now, whereas it is easy to envisage Ruiz playing for this Liverpool team.

Silky on the ball, hard-working and physical, the Spain international would provide competition for places and even more depth.
