Liverpool Transfers: 5 Alternative Options To Solomon Kalou

2. Maarten Martens

Belgium attacking midfielder Maarten Martens is another player that is doing a good job in the Eredivisie this season that Liverpool might want to consider making a move for. Martens doesn€™t offer a great goal threat with 42 scored from his more than 200 league games; he has only found the net once this season. However, his creativity is certainly something to speak about, and he is in fact the leading provider of goals in the Eredivisie this season. That has seen him assist 10 goals from his 12 league appearances; he has managed 2.1 key passes per game, but his ratio of only 0.9 shots underpins his minimal goal threat. Nevertheless, Brendan Rodgers will be encouraged by the options that he would give his Liverpool team with the versatility to play as a central attacking midfielder as well as wide on the left. Rodgers would also likely see Martens age of 29 as a positive because of the experience that he can bring to the table. Clearly, that experience extends to the international scene where he has won nine caps for his country since 2007. Furthermore, his passing success percentage of over 80% is a sure sign of a quality player.
