Ben Doak was handed his second start for Liverpool this season as he was part of the squad for the Carabao Cup and it was clear Jurgen Klopp had a message for the youngster after the match blew.
During the 65 minutes of the match in which the 17-year-old was on the pitch, he proved to be a constant threat on the right flank and his unwavering desire to beat a man is extremely exciting to watch.
After the match his coach said: “You can’t look at him without smiling” and it was clear that the German wanted to share more messages with his teenage star after playing full-time but while the two were still on the pitch.
The cameras present captured the boss in a deep conversation with the Scotsman and it is certain that what he said to the former Celtic came from his heart as he spoke with such passion.
Liverpool will do everything they can to finally sign Tchouameni for £73.5m
Liverpool vastly improved their midfield unit in the summer, but failed to attract a suitable replacement for Fabinho, who was their main DM and deep-lying attacking midfielder.
Japanese midfielder Wataru Endo arrived this summer, but the experienced midfielder is not as solid and versatile as the Brazilian.
The Reds must therefore hire a new and young number 6 and once again the name of Aurelien Tchouameni is central.
Anfield wanted to sign him from AS Monaco last year, but he decided to move to Real Madrid.
Furthermore, the Merseysiders were even linked with the France international during last summer’s transfer window.
According to Spanish source Todo Fichajes, Liverpool will now do everything they can to sign the 23-year-old, who is not happy at the Bernabeu after being regularly left out.
In eight appearances so far this season, the £73.5m-rated midfielder has only played 90 minutes on three occasions, as manager Carlo Ancelotti likes to feature his favorite veterans Kroos and Modric.
The media have mentioned that Klopp needs a quality player for the No.6 position and the Reds intend to sign Tchouameni in the January transfer window.
Thiago Alcantara can also play effectively in deep midfield, but the Spaniard has not played a single minute this season due to injury and is expected to start with a Bosman next summer.
It is reported that the 2022 World Cup star could even consider a loan option after Ancelotti leaves and returns to Madrid at the end of the season.
Do you think Liverpool should offer £73.5m to finally sign Aurélien Tchouameni?
