Liverpool eye £35m Monaco ace Akliouche

Although names like Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson have been heavily linked, Liverpool are also monitoring Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche. The attacking midfielder is noted for his 'real technical ability' and versatility across six positions, offering strong final-third distribution.

However, scouts are divided on Akliouche due to his modest goal return of five in 1,500 minutes. Despite dribbling into dangerous areas, his tendency to pass rather than shoot limits his immediate impact, leaving a question mark over his suitability for a top-four side.
