Why Real Madrid’s Dani Ceballos Would Be A Great Signing For Liverpool
It is reportedly claimed that Daniel Ceballos’ agent is in talks with Liverpool over a transfer that could take place in January. When he joined the Spanish giants from Real Betis, it was quite clear that he would be way down the pecking order and struggle to acquire regular first-team action.
His career has, hence, hit some sort of a speed breaker and he might be on his way out just six months after joining Los Blancos. He has made just two starts in the La Liga this term. However, the Reds will face stiff competition from the likes of Inter Milan, Roma and Arsenal, who are all monitoring the starlet’s situation.
More On The Player’s Background
At a mere age of 8, he joined the Sevilla youth system, before moving to his native club – Utrera, where he played for two seasons. He then joined Betis, who churned his talent out and brought him to the top league in Spain. In just three seasons, he made 105 appearances for them, clearly illustrating how important he was for the Beticos.
He broke into the team that needed resurgence and a return to the top flight, and in some style, as he helped them rise back up to where they belonged. In 2017, the Galacticos signed him on a six-year deal. On 23rd September, he proved his worth by scoring a brace in a 2-1 away win at Deportivo Alaves.
What Would He Offer Liverpool
Amidst all the heavyweight signings Madrid have made over the years, this lad is a player who quietly goes about his job and holds an aura around himself that smoothens the attack. He operates from a deeper position and orchestrates the proceedings, much like Cesc Fabregas of Chelsea or Jack Wilshere of Arsenal.
He is a daunting presence and has the ability to swing the momentum of a match single-handedly. If he doesn’t pick a pass, he will surely drive forward or start operating behind the striker. The former Real Betis prospect beats players with ease, as he possesses both skill and decent pace.
Worth The Buy?
Liverpool play a three-man midfield with the likes of Coutinho, Wijnaldum, Can, Lallana and club captain Henderson there to fill the spots. Having faced much speculation, both Can and Coutinho could be on their ways to join other clubs in the summer, if not in January. Emre Can and Georginio Wijnaldum are more of box-to-box midfielders, who pick the easy pass and make the run forward.
Adam Lallana is quite creative but has suffered from injuries. Hence, at the age of just 21, Ceballos, who can carry the ball forward and release players quicker than many others in the game, will be a fine signing for Liverpool. Also to mention, the Reds’ policy of promoting youngsters could be a vital factor for the midfielder to grow at Liverpool.
