Former Liverpool star Danny Murphy believes the South American is the closest to Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard in style, and he could prove to be an outstanding acquisition for the club.

Danny Murphy said via TEAMtalk: “Call me old fashioned, but I’d be going for someone in the middle of the pitch who is a leader. Someone everyone can look up to. A bit like Szoboszlai has done this season. “I always look at Federico Valverde at Madrid. If they could get him, he’s everything. He’s as near to Gerrard as I’ve seen – he’s got wonderful athleticism and he can do everything. “He’s not as good as Gerrard, but he’s a phenomenal player.”

Liverpool need more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for the Real Madrid star. There is no doubt that he would help them improve.

Liverpool need more quality in the middle of the park if they want to compete at the highest level regularly. Valverde is at the peak of his career, and it was no surprise that he is being linked with a move to the Premier League. Liverpool would do well to secure his signature in the summer.

Liverpool will look to compete at the highest level regularly, and they need more technical ability and drive in the middle of the park. The Real Madrid star could be the ideal acquisition in the long-term, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
