Mahmoud Dahoud
The Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder was heavily linked with a move to Liverpool in the summer transfer window, but the deal never materialized. However, it has been reported that there is a renewed interest from the Merseysiders along with Barcelona.
Dahoud has appeared 11 times for Gladbach this season in the Bundesliga, and has scored one goal and assisted one more. The 21-year old has created 13 goal-scoring chances for his team going forward and has made 24 crucial interceptions in the defensive half, highlighting his capability to have an impact in either half of the pitch. He also averages a decent 82% pass success-rate from the midfield. A good passer of the ball, a tough tackler and a modicum of concentration in the middle of the park, Dahoud is one of the most promising defensive midfielders in Germany.
Jurgen Klopp is very much aware of the potential Dahoud possesses and hence has targeted the 21-year old since the summer. But now if Can does depart, the transfer could actually happen and Dahoud will only strengthen the Liverpool midfield.
