# Liverpool: Fans positive about John McGinn rumour

**A number of Liverpool fans are in positive spirits about the Reds signing Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn following a report suggesting as such.**

Jurgen Klopp will surely be keen to make a few new signings this summer in addition to Ibrahima Konate, who has already [joined](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-transfer-rumours/liverpool-fans-react-as-ibrahima-konate-moves-edges-closer/) from RB Leipzig.

Gini Wijnaldum’s exit to Paris Saint-Germain is likely to leave a sizeable void in Liverpool’s midfield, so a new signing there wouldn’t go amiss.

Borussia Monchengladbach ace Florian Neuhaus has been [tipped](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/liverpool-journalist-provides-florian-neuhaus-update/) to join the Reds a number of times, but now McGinn’s name has been thrown into the mix. The [Sunday Post](https://www.sundaypost.com/) (Post Match pullout, 20/06, p2) \[via [LFC Transfer Room on Twitter](https://twitter.com/LFCTransferRoom/status/1406644999173902336?s=20)\] claimed that the Scotland international is on Liverpool’s radar, with the midfielder being valued at £20m.

The 26-year-old started all but one of Aston Villa’s Premier League games last term, with three goals and six assists to his name ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/john-mcginn/leistungsdaten/spieler/193116)), while only Jack Grealish averaged more than his 1.4 dribbles per game among Dean Smith’s squad ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/24/Show/England-Aston-Villa)).

**“Quite like this….we need a hard working ball-winner in the midfield. John fits the bill. Sure he’s not £100m but he’d still take Pogba down“**
