Plenty of Liverpool fans have been reacting to tentative early links from talkSPORT of a potential January swoop for Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma.
The 24-year-old played a starring role in the Reds’ disappointing late draw on the south coast last week, and Alex Crook has claimed that Jurgen Klopp has more than a passing interest in the Mali international.
Signed from Lille in 2018, the versatile operator is seen as the ideal successor to Gini Wijnaldum – who could be set to leave Merseyside next summer when his contract runs out.
With Naby Keita yet to live up to expectations at Anfield and James Milner not getting any younger, despite his performances defying logic, the demands on Klopp’s squad have been there for all to see this season. The German needs a wealth of options and Bissouma could fit the bill.
Renowned for striking some tremendously good-value deals in recent seasons, Michael Edwards’ repertoire of recruitment skills may be heading to Brighton in the near future to attempt to land another bargain.
Here’s a pick of the reactions from Kopitesm with one hailing him as an “absolute baller”:
Twitter: Yves Bissouma is an absolute baller. I’d be fully onboard with signing him. (@LFCLaurie)
Twitter: @AnfieldEdition He’s so good yes (@BenziaJr)
Twitter: Baller I’m telling use all… just watch if he comes https://t.co/s8TLtGRWl9 (@stevogeezalfc)
Twitter: I wouldn’t say no https://t.co/x8aZmGsLBs (@PhilPhenom)
Twitter: Quite good tbf, wouldn’t have him as the Gini replacement unless Klopp sees him as that instantly https://t.co/1PFqH4Y1Om (@foxylfcV2_)
If you say no you don’t know ball https://t.co/ohp0E6KV0M
