A number of Liverpool fans have been reacting positively to rumours linking the Reds with a move for midfielder Teun Koopmeiners.
This summer could see some new faces arrive at Anfield as Jurgen Klopp looks to freshen up his squad and continue to build for the future. Wholesale changes aren’t required, but there are a nucleus of players in and around 30 years of age, so the Liverpool manager can’t afford things to grow stagnant.
Midfield is arguably the Reds’ most congested area of the pitch, with the likes of Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Gini Wijnaldum, Thiago, Naby Keita, Curtis Jones and James Milner all excellent options.

It could be that Wijnaldum moves on at the end of the season, however, as he continues to be linked with a summer move to Barcelona.
According to Calciomercato, Koopmeiners is being viewed as a possible replacement for the 30-year-old, with the AZ Alkmaar captain scoring 15 goals in 28 Eredivisie games this season.
The 23-year-old seems to be an exciting option and it may be a story worth keeping an eye on, especially if Wijnaldum eventually decides to leave Anfield.
