Liverpool Are Eyeing A Move For This Bundesliga Playmaker: Should Iraola Launch A Move For Him? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes stated that Liverpool are eyeing a move for Bayer 04 Leverkusen playmaker Malik Tillman. It has been claimed that the Reds are showing interest in recruiting the United States talent in this transfer window.

Tillman’s Impressive Form In The Bundesliga

Tillman enjoyed a decent campaign at the German club as he put in a few eye-catching displays for them in the final third. The 24-year-old scored eight times and earned one assist in 42 matches for Bayer 04 Leverkusen last season across all competitions.

The United States talent is currently one of the best attacking midfielders in the Bundesliga. Thus, Liverpool would do well to get him on board this off-season.

His current contract at the German club will run out in the summer of 2030, which could make it tough for the Reds to sign him on the cheap later this year.

Should Liverpool Boss Andoni Iraola Launch A Move For Tillman?

Tillman is a good dribbler with the ball and can make some driving runs with it in and around the opponent’s penalty area. He has got the eye to play a few decisive passes in the final third and can strike the ball with venom from long range.

The United States sensation can contribute by scoring his fair share of goals up top. Tillman is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also operate as a box-to-box midfielder or as a left-sided wide player if asked to do so. However, there are some concerns over whether he can adapt to the physical side and high intensity of the Premier League if the Reds manage to snap him up in this transfer window.

We can expect Tillman to add more quality and depth to Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola’s attack. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at Anfield in the coming seasons.

At 24, Tillman has his best years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for the Merseyside club to pursue in this transfer period. He is good enough to help the Reds compete across all fronts in the future. Thus, Iraola would be wise to launch a move for the United States attacker later this year.
