Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes RB Leipzig playmaker Xavi Simons would be a great addition to Arne Slot’s side.
Hamann sees Simons as an interesting option for the Reds, and likens the young Dutchman to Philippe Coutinho.
“I think Xavi Simons is ready for a team like Liverpool. He is an important player for RB Leipzig and is doing very well. The only thing to consider is where he would play in the team,” Hamann said. “
At the moment he plays in an offensive role, probably with Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister supporting him behind. He has a similar style to Coutinho, คาสิโนออนไลน์ UFABET ฝากถอนรวดเร็ว เริ่มต้นเล่นง่าย which is reminiscent of Liverpool’s loss of Coutinho, but Simons is ready for a big team. “
“He plays in an advanced role at the moment, so would need Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister behind or beside him.
“I think he is already and I’d say he is a similar player to Philippe Coutinho, which makes you think about how he left the club, but Simons is ready to play for a big club.
“There’s a chance Leipzig won’t get in the Champions League which would have an impact too, he is a brilliant player with great feet, an eye for goal and brings his teammates into play.
If Leipzig don’t get a Champions League place it could also affect his decision. He is an excellent player, technically good, scores goals and creates for his team-mates. “
Liverpool are missing a player like him. They have pace and strength but lack a real playmaker. The most similar players in the team right now are probably Curtis Jones and Simons. They can definitely help improve the team.”
