# Pundit claims EPL star Bukayo Saka is the ‘perfect’ Liverpool player

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/02/22/virals-liverpool-interested-in-lille-striker-jonathan-david/) have recently been heavily linked with a move for Arsenal forward [Bukayo Saka](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/02/10/liverpool-boosted-as-reported-target-bukayo-saka-reveals-ucl-dream/).

The 20-year-old sensation has [attracted admiration](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/liverpool-and-man-city-monitoring-bukayo-saka) from the Reds and Manchester City with continued fine form.

Already a key member of Mikel Arteta’s side, Saka has also [starred for England](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/12309/12399947/england-4-0-andorra-bukayo-saka-harry-kane-and-a-jesse-lingard-double-maintain-three-lions-perfect-start-to-world-cup-qualifying) at the senior international level.

Speaking on [talkSPORT](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1495825648102871046), Adrian Durham suggested that the talented youngster would be ideally suited to Jurgen Klopp’s side.

> He is made for Liverpool. He’s the perfect Liverpool player. With the energy he’s got, his attitude, everything – I’d love to see him play under Jurgen Klopp in that system.

This season Saka has scored [eight times and registered four assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bukayo-saka/leistungsdaten/spieler/433177) in 28 appearances across all competitions – earning an impressive [7.02 average Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/bukayo-saka/934235) in the process.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £58.5million and under contract in London until 2024 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bukayo-saka/marktwertverlauf/spieler/433177)), signing the Englishman would be an expensive outlay for the Anfield club.

Still, only 20 and already showing signs of becoming an elite performer, adding the [versatile forward](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bukayo-saka/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/433177)to the Liverpool ranks would be a no-brainer.

Possessing an [array](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/367185/Show/Bukayo-Saka) of key attributes, Klopp would undoubtedly jump at a chance to add Saka to the squad – perhaps as a long-term successor to Mohamed Salah.
