€20m midfielder confirms he's ready to join Liverpool | OneFootball

An exciting midfielder has confirmed he's ready to join Liverpool.

Richard Hughes will be focusing on the midfield come the next transfer window. It remains to be seen where Liverpool will finish in the Premier League table.

Right now, Champions League football next season is under serious threat. Both Chelsea and Manchester United are in a much better position than the Reds.

Where Liverpool finish and whether they can secure European football will determine the kind of players the club can attract.

Anfield Watch understands Liverpool have an impressive midfield shortlist that included the likes of Warren Zaire-Emery, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Kees Smit, Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton.

And there's another exciting midfielder who is on the club's radar and who confirmed he would be ready to join the Reds with a brilliant performance.

Anfield Watch understands the club are huge admirers of Caleb Yirenkyi, and could be making a move for him in the summer.

He is valued at €20m and he is seen as the perfect profile for the Reds.

Yirenkyi plays for FC Nordsjaelland and he only turned 20-years-old last month but already has over 40 appearances for the Danish club that has an impressive track-record of producing elite talent who have gone onto do well in Europe's top five leagues.

Already a Ghanian international, Yirenkyi has been catching the eye in front of Liverpool's scouts who are in regular attendance at his games.

So impressive has he been in February that he won Young Player of the Month in the Danish Superliga. Looking at his performances, and the way he's been dominating the midfield, that award pretty much confirms that Yirenkyi is too good for this level.

Not only that it also confirms that he's ready for the next step in his career and ready to join a club like Liverpool.

His best performance of the month came in Nordsjaelland's victory over FC Kobenhavn in the Danish Superliga.

He covered vast swathes of ground and showcased exactly what he is about. The Ghanian won five out of seven ground duels, completed the most dribbles on the pitch (2), completed 79 out of 81 pass attempts, while creating two chances, and winning all of his aerial duels.

It was a phenomenal performance and it confirmed that he's too good for this level.

Yirenkyi is all action. He's comfortable playing in a side that dominates the ball and also has to press high.

The youngster would flourish under Arne Slot's system. He may not be a regular started but as we mentioned above Liverpool need more than just one midfielder.

Wataru Endo is likely leaving Anfield. The future of Curtis Jones is up in the air. Having someone like Yirenkyi makes a lot of sense.

He can play anywhere in midfield and on top of that he can also cover at full-back, meaning he'd still play a lot of games even if he was not first choice.

His performances this month will likely have blown the club's scouts away and the nomination just confirmed that he's ready for that move.
