Three reasons why Ruben Neves would be the perfect midfield signing for Liverpool this summer

The
German
also
claimed
that
he
was
wrong
to
formerly
discard
the
idea
of
signing
a
new
midfielder.

After
Klopp’s
statement,
Liverpool
have
been
linked
with
a
host
of
midfielders
across
Europe.

One
of
the
many
names
linked
with
a
move
to
Anfield
is
Wolverhampton
Wanderers
skipper
Ruben
Neves.

Here,
we
look
at
three
reasons
why
Neves
would
be
a
brilliant
addition
to
the
Liverpool
midfield
this
summer.

Premier
League
experience

Neves
boasts
plenty
Premier
League
experience
at
the
age
of
just
25.
He
has
been
at
Wolves
since
2017
when
they
were
in
the
Championship
and
has
been
a
key
part
of
the
team
since.
Neves
has
more
than
200
appearances
for
the
Midlands
club
to
his
name
till
date
and
is
also
a
seasoned
Premier
League
professional.
Hence,
Neves
poses
very
little
risk
of
flopping
at
Anfield.

Versatility

Neves
is
a
player
who
looks
equally
comfortable
as
a
number
six
or
a
number
eight
which
makes
him
perfect
for
Liverpool.
The
Reds
are
heavily
reliant
on
Fabinho
at
the
base
of
their
midfield
trio
but
Neves
could
provide
worthy
competition
to
the
Brazilian.
With
Jordan
Henderson
struggling
this
season,
Neves
could
also
be
a
long-term
replacement
of
the
Liverpool
skipper
thanks
to
his
leadership.

Midfield
target

It
is
pretty
much
a
public
knowledge
that
Jude
Bellingham
is
the
primary
target
of
Liverpool
but
Borussia
Dortmund
will
not
entertain
any
offer
for
their
starlet
this
summer.
A
move
for
Ruben
Neves
will
mean
that
Klopp
could
still
go
all
out
for
Bellingham
next
summer
as
the
two
players
are
very
different
from
each
other.
Liverpool
could
benefit
from
getting
a
player
with
Neves’ profile
this
summer
who
provides
solidity
and
craft
at
the
same
time.
