Liverpool have a NEW midfielder | OneFootball

It's crazy to say but against Tottenham Trey Nyoni made his Premier League debut for Liverpool. The young midfielder has played for the Reds in a fair few competitions but that was his first outing in the league.

And it shows a massive change of heart from Slot, who had previously refrained from using Nyoni in competitive matches like that Spurs game.

Slot's willingness to put him in makes us feel like he may be considering Nyoni as more of a serious option, which means Liverpool might have a new midfielder to consider.

In this sense, Nyoni could almost be like a new signing, and he's definitely a profile that's needed in a midfield that has very little depth.

With the new diamond formation Slot's using, he's pretty much having to play all his midfielders all at once.

That means he needs alternative options and Nyoni becomes a really mouldable and flexible option because of his ability to play in multiple roles.

He's probably the best in a deep-lying creator role playing either Ryan Gravenberch's role on the left or Alexis Mac Allister's position on the right of midfield.

But he can play as a more advanced midfielder and has done so during a few times under Slot, especially in pre-season last year and also at times this year.

Liverpool realise that Nyoni is a massive talent and there's no denying his Premier League debut is a massive step for him in his status within the first-team.

With Dominik Szoboszlai ruled out against Wolverhampton due to suspension, Nyoni is bound to be involved in that game as well to some capacity.

In the process, Slot may discover he doesn't need to spend as much as he might have first though, Nyoni could easily be a solid and reliable option for him in the middle of the park.
