Comparing Tchouameni’s 21-22 stats to Liverpool’s current midfielders
Liverpool are looking to bolster their midfield options and have reportedly identified Monaco’s Aurelien Tchouameni as their top target.
Tchouameni has emerged as one of Liverpool’s main priorities this summer, with the likes of James Milner, Thiago Alcantara and Jordan Henderson all over the age of 30 and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain linked with a move away from Anfield.
After a big season in Ligue 1, and breaking into the France squad, Tchouameni isn’t short of admirers. Real Madrid are thought to be extremely keen to take him to Spain but the 22-year-old is thought to prefer a move to Liverpool.
The player himself recently addressed his future and is seemingly not ruling out a move away.
“It’s true that there are a lot of people that are hoping to see me stay,” he said. “That makes me happy because it shows that I’m doing good work.”
But how would he fit into Jurgen Klopp’s squad? We’ve compared Tchouameni’s 2021-22 Ligue 1 stats to Liverpool’s current midfield options in the Premier League.
Note: We’ve not included Harvey Elliott due to a low number of appearances this season.
