Liverpool are reportedly interested in Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma.

talkSPORT have claimed Jurgen Klopp’s side are keen on potentially bringing the 14-cap Mali international to Anfield, with Arsenal also supposedly keen.

Bissouma has been with Brighton since the summer of 2018, after sealing a transfer from Lille.

The star has really impressed on the south coast, making a name for himself as a box-to-box midfielder.

He hit a stunning goal earlier in the season in the 5-2 defeat to Everton, and his performances for Graham Potter’s side have generally been very good.

There’s a few players who can play the box-to-box role already for Liverpool; Jordan Henderson and Naby Keita, who are not going nowhere anytime soon, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Injured Chamberlain’s chances of regular minutes would surely be stung if Liverpool decided to move for Bissouma.

Sadly Chamberlain’s time at Anfield has been marred by injuries.

The £35 million star (BBC Sport) is a brilliant player on his day, but seems to be occupying the same role as Adam Lallana before he left for the Seagulls.

Chamberlain’s long-term prospects at the club would surely be questionable if the Reds did a deal for Bissouma.

The £25,000-a-week star (Spotrac) is only 24 and probably could play for a bigger club -and Klopp’s track record for improving players when they come to the club around that age is proven.
