A £20 million midfielder who is so good it’s a “joke” has been linked to Liverpool.

Following the Saudi Pro League’s recent Anfield raid, Liverpool has been linked with a number of midfielders in recent weeks.

Jordan Henderson, the Reds’ captain, left for Al Ettifaq, and Fabinho appears destined for Al Ittihad.

Liverpool has already brought in two midfielders this summer, and they may bring in at least one more.

Eberechi Eze of Crystal Palace was one name that was mentioned earlier this year as a potential transfer target for Anfield.

The 25-year-old was linked to both the Reds and Tottenham Hotspur, according to a May report from Liverpool World.

In 2020, Palace acquired Eze from QPR for an initial reported fee of £16 million with a potential increase to £20 million.

With 15 goals and 11 assists from 93 competitive games, he has performed admirably for the London club.

Eze is a versatile player who has played both flanks, both offensive and defensive midfield positions for Palace.

Early this year, he played for 20 minutes against Malta in a Euro 2024 qualifying match to earn his first England cap.

One of Eze’s former teammates has now endorsed the rumored Liverpool target for a significant transfer.

The Three Lions star “100%” has what it takes to succeed at a top club, according to Geoff Cameron, who spoke to talkSPORT.

He (Eze) “goes at his own beat and he’s smooth, silky, sharp and kind of graceful at the same time,” he said. “He has the power to alter the game.

“For me, I have no doubts that he’ll join a prestigious club.

“It just [takes] time, experience, more games under his belt, and more chances to demonstrate his talent and [score] more goals. He already possesses it.

I think he can, and you’ll see it.
Can he do it reliably in every game and have that much impact? ”.

Cameron also recalled how Jack Butland, a former teammate, described Eze as having “joke-like” talent.

Our perspective.

Liverpool should consider Eze as a viable option.
He is a Premier League-tested player with extraordinary talent and versatility.

Although he’s only 25 and hasn’t reached his peak, he has a wealth of experience and should be able to make an immediate impact at Anfield.

The deal with Eze is good through the 2025 summer.

Palace doesn’t have to sell him right away or risk losing him for nothing the following year, but they still need to consider what the future holds for both the player and the team.

In light of this, Liverpool may decide to test the market and determine how much the Eagles might be willing to pay for him.

Palace may not want to lose another top player just yet after recently losing Wilfried Zaha to a free transfer.
