Liverpool Transfers: 5 Alternative Options To Solomon Kalou

5. Adam Lallana

I think it€™s always good to discuss the big clubs investing in the best English talent, but it is something that is not happening enough in football at the moment. Southampton has proved to be a very good place for British players to play their football, and Adam Lallana has been able to excel in that environment. Lallana has proved to have been one of the leading attacking midfielders in the Premier League this season, and his versatility to play in a number of different positions may well encourage Brendan Rodgers to make a bid. The player is now 25, so at a good age to make this kind of move after learning his trade with Southampton in the lower leagues. He has also recently made his England debut, but it€™s unclear if such a move would increase or decrease his chances of making the World Cup squad. On one side, playing for a seemingly bigger club should increase his chances €“ but if he finds himself playing fewer games in the Premier League that will hurt his chances. Lallana is clearly a very important part of Southampton€™s team this season as he has started 19 of their 20 league games; more importantly though is the contributions that he has made in those games, which includes four goals and five assists. He has also managed an impressive average rating of 7.26 as well as 1.7 shots, 1.7 key passes and 2 dribbles per match.
