Liverpool simply have to sign incredible midfielder now on the market There's an exciting midfielder now on the market and Liverpool simply have to sign him. Richard Hughes will be focusing on the midfield in the summer window but a lot of the new arrivals will hinge on how the Reds finish the season. Right now, Champions League football next season is under serious threat.

Both Chelsea and Manchester United are in a much better position than the Reds. Where Liverpool finish and whether they can secure European football will determine the kind of players the club can attract. Anfield Watch understands Liverpool have an impressive midfield shortlist that included the likes of Warren Zaire-Emery, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Kees Smit, Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton.

But there's another elite midfielder who could be added to the club's shortlist after the door has opened for him to make a move this summer. Liverpool need someone with a lot of intensity, who is great technically and is also excellent at winning the ball back regularly. One of the best young midfielders in Europe right now when it comes to pressing is Senny Mayulu.

He ranks among the top 10 players for pressing duels per 90 minutes in Ligue 1 and he also ranks sixth for possessions won in the final third per 90 minutes (1. 20). Mayulu is only 19-years-old but he has already scored in the Champions League final and has a lot of experience playing for Paris Saint Germain, despite his tender age.
