Report: Liverpool to make move for highly rated Belgian attacking midfielder

Interesting prospect.

With Liverpool's injury woes, and new manager Jurgen Klopp inevitably looking to bring in new players, it seems highly likely that the team will add reinforcements during the current window. Although, they could probably do with a few defenders, instead of another attacking midfielder. Belgian media, citing sources in Italy, claim that Liverpool are preparing a £22.3 million move for Dennis Praet. The 21 year old Anderlecht attacking midfielder is highly rated, with an ESPN scout report likening him to Andreas Iniesta.

Praet is a neat and intelligent attacking midfielder, with good close control and excellent technique and vision. He moves well between the lines, links up effectively with his teammates and is capable of providing an accurate through-ball or shot on goal having advanced forward into the final third.

However, Belgian journalist Kristof Terreur doubts the move will materialise, and claims Premier League sides West Brom and Aston Villa turned down a move for the player at a lower price last summer. At the rate Liverpool are losing players to hamstring injuries, maybe wait and see with this one. https://twitter.com/HLNinEngeland/status/686115444437168128?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/HLNinEngeland/status/686117661772791808?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/HLNinEngeland/status/686122892262772736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/HLNinEngeland/status/686183958854373376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
