The ideal man? Should Liverpool go for broke on signing Mateo Kovacic next summer…

We reported earlier today that Liverpool could sign Mateo Kovacic. The original story came via sources in Italy, but has now been picked up by the majority of the British Press.

As always, we approached the rumour with a certain amount of disdain, but upon further investigation it’s easy to see why the 20-year-old Croatian would be an appealing option for Brendan Rodgers and co.

At the risk of raising expectations to inappropriately high levels, in the list below we count down eight reasons why he’d make a superb signing:

Potential…

The midfielder is only 20, and is already earning rave reviews. If he can continue to build on that potential and transfer his qualities to the English game, then his ability is virtually limitless. Brendan Rodgers is an excellent developer of young talent, as well all know.

Happy Hunting Ground…

It’s worth remembering that the last player we brought from Inter Milan was the one and only Philippe Coutinho. If Kovacic is able to reach a similar level, then he’ll be the perfect signing for us!
