Jurgen Klopp: Made For Liverpool

I have wanted to use Robertson in a save but Hull always ask soooo much, im really interested to see how he does for you!

Some really good transfers mate, even if some of those were done for you irl

Liverpool have today confirmed the signing of 20 year old French striker M'Baye Niang in a deal thought to be worth around £18m. The striker had a breakthrough half season at Genoa after his January loan move, scoring 5 goals in 14 appearances, and his move to the Premier League might well afford him the opportunity he needs to develop his game further.

Niang has in the past drawn comparisons to new team-mate Mario Balotelli, and was handed an 18 month suspended sentence last year after a car accident he was involved in while suspended from driving, although Niang denies being at the wheel of the crashed car.

Despite his reputation, Liverpool fans are hoping Klopp can ground the youngster, and bring out the best in him - the opposite of Rodgers with Balotelli. Indeed, Niang's arrival may well signal the end for Balotelli, with the Italian linked with a number of clubs.


The 20 year old Frenchman is technically gifted, and his eye for goal is well documented. Although his work rate may not be the best, he has plenty of time to develop and fit in with his new team-mates. Quick on the ball and demonstrating exemplary movement off it, Niang certainly has the skills to cause problems in the Premier League, especially with players like Daniel Sturridge to learn from at Anfield.

With the new season about to start, Niang will need to settle quickly to make an impression on his new fans and team-mates.

£18m?!?! he better score 20!

Big money move for the youngster, let's hope he proves to be a star!

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has today taken one of his bravest steps in the transfer market as Liverpool boss, giving a second chance to Watford reject George Byers who was released by the Championship side at the end of last season having made only 1 first-team appearance, despite being at the club since he was 7.

Now 19, the Scottish central midfielder will be hoping his time at Liverpool will offer him a springboard for his career. Technically sound, and willing to put a shift in throughout a game, Byers certainly seems like he will complement Klopp's system at Liverpool, but he will have to wait at least a year to make his impression at Anfield, as both he and team-mate Cameron Brannagan have been loaned to Scottish club Motherwell for the season, in a bid to secure more first team football.

Byers is not the only youngster to be making the switch to Liverpool, although his fellow new arrival - Palmeiras striker Gabriel Jesus - is less of an unknown quantity, having attracted attention from Manchester City, Barcelona and Real Madrid before signing on the dotted line with Liverpool.

The youngster scored 9 goals in 28 appearances before agreeing his contract with Liverpool, and will spend the remainder of the year on loan at his former club, and has already increased his tally to 10 goals and 2 assists in 32 matches, form which he will hope to carry into the Premier League next season.

Talking about both of his new signings this morning, boss Jurgen Klopp was excitable, claiming that both of his new players have the potential to make a real difference at the club, and forge out impressive careers.

Signing Byers is a huge risk, considering Watford felt he wasn't up to standard. Hopefully he'll prove me wrong!

Niang and Jesus could be brilliant signings and if there's one man that can turn Byers into something special it's Klopp!

Niang looks better in purple #justsayin
