He provides bags of energy
It’s no secret that Liverpool are currently hamstrung.
Players are finding the levels of Klopp’s intensity a harsh wake up call, not due to a laziness, but as a high intensity may not suit their natural game.
Teixiera can certainly aid this.
He is born of the same school of thinking as fellow Donetsk exports Willian and Douglas Costa, all energy pace and trickery.
This signing would undoubtedly add the above factors to Liverpool’s team, however at £37 million, this starts to get into the realms of a must-be success, rather than a gamble.
These are the sums paid for Alexis Sanchez and Sergio Aguero, players who arrived, made instant impacts, and became modern day club heroes in the meantime. There is no doubting that Teixiera would add in a positive manner, but he is needed to be the difference maker.
Can he live up to this? Only time will tell.
