A transfer target for Liverpool has already revealed his “dream,” with Fernando Torres hint spotted

A possible summer transfer for Morten Frendrup is being watched by Liverpool, and the Genoa midfielder has already expressed his thoughts about joining Anfield.

Even though the January transfer market is still open, Liverpool might be planning for the summer already. Any significant inflows are far more likely to occur then than they are right now.

Still, a lot of people will be watching Anfield this month. With the season almost passed halfway through, the Reds have set a high bar for themselves as the Premier League leaders, and their opponents will be trying to obtain an advantage in the transfer market.

It remains to be seen if Liverpool adds any players to the roster this month, however Jürgen Klopp has downplayed any rumours that additions have already been made. Despite the possibility that no one will show up right away, the club is nonetheless keeping an eye out.

The ECHO reports that Liverpool is keeping an eye on Genoa midfielder Morten Frendrup and will probably continue to do so for the rest of the campaign since a January transfer seems improbable. Despite Wataru Endō and Alexis Mac Allister both playing at number six this season, it appears the Reds are still looking for a fresh addition.

An intriguing, if rather unexpected, target is Frendrup. The 22-year-old, who assisted Genoa in their return to Serie A last season, is enjoying a successful season with the Italian team.

If Liverpool supporters are curious in the defensive midfielder, they may have come across an interview published by Serie A a few weeks back. Even before the ad begins, titled “The best ball-winner in Serie A,” it portrays a bright future for the Reds.

However, a minute or so later, something will have captured Liverpool supporters’ attention even more. The first photo, which the interviewer is showing Frendrup, is of the midfielder when he was younger, standing in front of a poster of Fernando Torres from his time at Anfield.

According to Frendrup, the photo was taken while he was attending a boarding school in his home country of Denmark, where he was hoping to sign Daniel Agger for Liverpool from Brøndby. Although the Torres poster isn’t mentioned in the conversation, it was already established that the midfield player adores Liverpool.

A 16-year-old Frendrup discusses his aspirations to play professional football and his experience relocating to a boarding school in an interview published in 2018 with the Danish publication Sjaellandske Nyheder. He says in the interview that Liverpool is his favourite team and that he hopes to one day move to Anfield.

I’ve always had this dream, and I think it will come true. I think I can succeed if I work hard,” Frendrup remarked. The story also features the image of the Torres poster, with the caption describing the former striker as Frendrup’s hero.

If acquiring a new number six is still a top priority later in the season, Liverpool will seem to be headed in the correct direction. The Reds are obviously interested in Frendrup, and a transfer may fulfil his ambition.

Carragher selects two men to take Salah’s place at Liverpool – It’ll be intriguing

Harvey Elliot and Dominik Szoboszlai have been selected by Liverpool great Jamie Carragher to take Mohamed Salah’s position when he leaves for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) later this month.

On Monday night, Salah scored two goals for Liverpool against Newcastle United while playing in outstanding form.

The Reds’ victory sent them three points clear atop the Premier League standings, and the Egyptian international also contributed an assist.

Salah’s final game for Liverpool before joining the Egypt team was the encounter against Newcastle.

If Egypt advances to the AFCON final in Ivory Coast, Salah may miss up to eight games for Liverpool, which would provide manager Jurgen Klopp with a difficult offensive situation.

But before Salah leaves for the AFCON, Carragher has picked Elliot and Szoboszlai to fill in for him.

Carragher told Sky Sports, “It will be very interesting to see who he puts in that position.”

Numerous strikers for Liverpool have right footedness. While Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, and Cody Gakpo all appear to be capable of going on the left, nobody appears to have the proper balance to go on the right.

“Harvey Elliot is one of the alternatives. Although he lacks the speed to play in the front three, I believe he is more of a midfield midfielder.

Additionally, Szoboszlai. With Alexis Mac Allister back, Liverpool have a lot of alternatives in the midfield; Szoboszlai played there for his previous team.

“But it will be very difficult to replace his [Salah’s] goals.”
