Of course, Spurs still have to come to Anfield for a second game in early February, but there’s no doubt that Liverpool are looking long and tired at the moment.

Granted, a January deal for the Bournemouth left-back will be harder to come by, although Andoni Illaura has welcomed left-back Julio Soler from Argentinian club Lanus as an ostensible replacement Costs for the month were £11.5m.
and Andy Robertson Amid the slump, Liverpool need to sign a left-back this year and 21-year-old Kolquez would be the perfect player to complete the devastating left flank.
What Milos Kolquez will bring to Liverpool
If Liverpool were to complete deals for Kvaratskhelia and Kolkoz this year, Slott would have quite a few left wingers to work with. The Neapolitan’s directness and trickery requires a more mobile partner behind him, which creates overlap and creates confusion for the opponent.
There’s no doubt Kerkez still has a lot of work to do, but After 20 Premier League appearancesWith four goals and five clean sheets this season, he is nurturing a seed of promise.
Talent Scout Antonio Mango Kirkez has been hailed as “one of the best young left-backs in football” after his meteoric rise on the south coast, but if you want to hear from a bigger name, watch Sky Sports’ Jamie Carragher below passionate remarks.
His athleticism and precise crossing make him the perfect mobile full-back, and while there are some deficiencies defensively, Kolquez has done enough in the early stages of his career to show that he can Can be a top player.
The desperate need for something new is only emphasized when comparing his metrics to those of Robertson, as the Scotland captain has shown signs of wear and tear after such a long, rewarding and exhausting career. Signs of tearing, and lack of concentration. Jurgen Klopp.

It would be good for Liverpool to welcome young blood into the fold, allowing Robertson to take a breather and lighten some of the load. It goes both ways, too, with Kolquez still young and perhaps benefiting from the tutelage of one of the best modern left-backs in football, he became a star.

More energy and momentum will only push Liverpool’s project forward, and that’s not even digging into the potential connection between Kolkoz and Kvaradzhelja.
Kvaratskhelia described as a ‘very difficult’ forward to defend Klopp after a win for the Reds Defeated Napoli in the Champions League.
FB reference record Diaz is one of the players most similar statistically to Kovaratzhelia, with great skills and confidence in passing the ball while also being a deadly ball-carrier. Over the past year, the Georgia native ranked in the top 1% of players at his position in field goal attempts, the top 9% in progressive ball possession, and the top 17% in shots created per 90.
While Klopp has retained a talented group of players for Slott to work with, it is clear that unless opportunities are seized on the market this year, Liverpool will stagnate and allow their rivals to close the gap.
It would be fantastic to sign both talents, but Anfield is a hothouse for development towards the elite stage and now the club must show the ambition they deserve from a title-chasing team.
