Don Hutchison has suggested that Liverpool stand a good chance of beating Real Madrid to the signing of Real Madrid, pointing to the availability of a young setup of midfielders.
Jurgen Klopp will certainly hope his connection to old employers Borussia Dortmund will provide an advantage in the race for the teenager’s signature, even if only a minute one.
It’s worth considering the importance of personal development to the England international given that the Reds would perhaps be in the best position to offer game time and a clear pathway to the peak of his footballing powers.
