Villarreal are not willing to let Danjuma go in the middle of the season, however, which is why a transfer will be extremely difficult in January. Still, it's a good indication of Liverpool's thinking in the market.

I mean robbo didnt have stats backing him before we signed him ...neither did most our signings u derby klopp besides maybe mane and a couple others...I've said it once and will say it again leave the decisions to the people who are being paid to make these decisions...they've made nothing but great decisions so far and I'm sure they will always do what's best for the club and team

I haven't seen any sense in the analysis. Any player can become better and better under good training in the hands of competent managers like Klopp. You're talking about pressing but ask yourself whether it is the philosophy of the team where he plays from. You do not have to first look for the player who plays what you want because it may be hard to get him since different teams have different styles but bear it in mind that there is room for adjustment and improvement. Alexander Arnold Trent and Robertson are trending today but whatever they are doing is a product of training.
