Whilst we’re no doubt itching to see this transfer nudged over the line and a dreaded repeat of the Nabil Fekir saga avoided, it’s positive to see due diligence done on transfer as ever.
As one of the more durable midfielders available in the Premier League, we’d be highly surprised to learn of any red flags arising from Mac Allister’s assessments.
As far as we’re concerned here at Empire of the Kop – this is a done deal waiting to happen and we’re extremely excited to see the footballer in Liverpool colours!
