Ruben Neves
Like El Ghazi, another of Europe’s hottest young properties right now is FC Porto’s Ruben Neves who has been drawing a growing list of admirers of late.
Playing against Chelsea and defeating the Blues in their recent Champions League tussle, Jose Mourinho’s side have been linked with the signature of the Portuguese Under-21 international but so too have Liverpool.
A defensive midfielder by trade, Metro reported a couple of days ago that Jurgen Klopp himself has instructed Liverpool’s board to sanction a move for the youngster and if true, this is some endorsement of the Porto man’s talents.
With Lucas Leiva not getting any younger and Emre Can deployed as more of a defender – under the Brendan Rodgers regime at least – you can see room in Liverpool’s ranks for another top quality defensive midfielder.
Unfortunately, it would just be to the likes of local lad Jordan Rossiter’s detriment who will be hoping he doesn’t fade away while doing a Jay Spearing over the next couple of years!
