Liverpool Transfers: 5 Players Who Could Replace Steven Gerrard

4. Christian Atsu

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5gRJHeIo8Y There is little knowledge throughout England of this Ghanian international, but he has been on Brendan Rodgers list of targets for quite some time. The 21 year-old applies his trade in Portugal for Porto and is known as predominantly a wide player but also has the ability to play behind the front two. He is young, raw with a great deal of potential and for a reported price tag of around £3 million, according to Tribal Football, he could be a happy acquisition for LFC. Liverpool are already blessed with a number of players who can play the wide roll. Philippe Coutinho has been a revelation at Anfield since his move and with Stewart Downing, Raheem Sterling and Ousamma Assaidi all capable in that position, Atsu could be a player Liverpool can develop into more of a roaming midfielder that could fill a role across all lines of midfield. He is a risk ... but a cheap risk. Liverpool need to build to its squad in the upcoming seasons, which is something Brendan Rodgers has openly admitted. Perhaps Christian Atsu can provide?
