Liverpool Transfers: Profiling 6 Rumoured Targets

4. Christian Eriksen

christian-eriksen Ajax Attacking midfielder 21 Denmark This rumour has all but died now after the Mkhitaryan story started to develop. Everyone was saying that he had an offer from everyone's favourite second team: Borussia Dortmund. In all honesty, Dortmund would probably be a better destination for Eriksen right now. He's only 21 and he doesn't need all of Liverpool's hopes and dreams pinned on him at such a tender age. He actually has bags of experience already - he's a Champions League regular with Ajax and he already has 34 Danish caps. But the pressure of Anfield might be a step to much for his light shoulders. In terms of talent there are few to match him at that age. He has a fantastic eye for a pass which makes him similar to Coutinho and he also has the ability to score goals from the wings or in behind the striker. Unsurprisingly he is young and therefore he represents a way in which FSG can make a profit on the playing staff at LFC - hopefully this profit is meant to be used to upgrade the squad each time a resale is made. Would he fit?Yes - in terms of playing style I believe he would fit into Liverpool's team but in terms of his career I do not. If he could replace Mario Götze at Dortmund as the rumour suggests then I believe he could become a real European star and move onto one of the REALLY big boys like Real Madrid or Barcelona - even Bayern Munich, who seem to enjoy poaching all the Bundesliga's best talents. Still, a great player and one I'd love to see at Liverpool however, this rumour has disappeared for the time being and I don't expect to see it resurface for a while.
