Liverpool’s next statement signing could be a player who has quietly fallen out of favour at title-contending Man City — Tijjani Reijnders. The City move is not going as he would have hoped.

He has the legs, energy and carrying power to play in a high-tempo Liverpool midfield, but his technical level is what makes him an elite option.Reijnders can receive under pressure, break lines with his passing and arrive late around the box to finish off the move. Liverpool fans lamented not signing Reijnders after that game.

He could leave City at the end of the season, and a new manager might favour Reijnders more. Like James Milner before him, he may yet discover that leaving City for Liverpool is not a step down, but the right move for him at this stage in his career.
