Liverpool eye £35m move for Monaco midfielder Akliouche

Despite the focus on Liverpool's defensive and attacking reinforcements, the Reds are expected to sign a midfielder this summer. Akliouche offers a unique profile with "real technical ability," capable of operating across six positions while excelling in final-third distribution.

However, scouts note a tension between creativity and end product. While the Monaco man excels at progressing the ball, his goal contribution remains modest, often preferring a pass to a shot inside the box.
