Reds fans here in the Tavern are hit with a confidence boost after news of a potential transfer window signing. 

Many Liverpool fans have fallen in love with the prospect of welcoming Julian Draxler to the club in January, with the German reportedly being at the centre of some newly found interest from the Premier League side. Indeed, they look set to battle it out with top 4 rivals Arsenal, having continued to pursue their long-term interest in the former Schalke man, currently out of the picture with PSG.

The scouse fan base have certainly taken a positive approach to these rumours, due to many of them believing their side will have the best attack in Europe if they are to prize the attacker to Anfield, in what is an already near complete Reds front line.

Paris Saint Germain’s attacker hasn’t managed to secure the amount of game time he will have wanted, but has certainly impressed during his time at the Parc des Princes. In his 11 games played in all competitions, he’s managed to conjure up 2 goals and 2 assists from a winger’s position in a team that all goals are normally soaked up by their formidable forward line of Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe.

So, with that in mind, here’s a look at how Liverpool would line up with Draxler in their ranks.

LW: Julian Draxler

The German wizard has never been able to force away into the Paris Saint Germain side, after their record signing Neymar has taken up Draxler’s favoured position on the left wing. However, in Liverpool’s current side, he would possess the creative nature to provide endless chances for the hungry Reds forwards.

Jurgen Klopp’s current outfit lack an air of creativity in the final third with it being so heavily reliant on utilizing the pace of wingers Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, but given Draxler’s pedigree he’ll be sure to provide telling balls and intricate passes around the opposition’s area, required to create an added goal-scoring threat.

ST: Roberto Firmino

In what is his 3rd season with the club, we’ve really seen him come of age in the most recent campaign, having thrived with a blossoming attack around him. Having scored 3 goals in his first 12 games in the Premier League season, he hasn’t quite found his eye for goals as the Brazilian finds himself trying to provide for the team, with 2 assists being tallied alongside this.

With the arrival of Julian Draxler, Roberto Firmino will be allowed to thrive under the service from the left winger, as it allows for him to resort to being an out-and-out forward at the forefront of the attacks.

RW: Mohamed Salah

Completing the Liverpool front three is the forever reliable Egyptian talisman Mohamed Salah, who’s really made a name for himself in this attack-minded outfit. Staking his claim as the Premier League’s top goalscorer just puts into perspective of how influential he has been since making the move over from Italy.

Since signing for the club he’s become their established right winger, displaying the most outrageous amount of pace and acceleration moving forward, to demoralize any defender laying in his way.

Scoring has been another aspect of the number 11’s game, with the forward accumulating an astonishing 14 goals and 4 assist in just the 19 games he’s featured in this season, making him the most in-form player in the Premier League at this moment in time.
