Midfielder confirms he's ready to join Liverpool

An exciting midfielder has confirmed he's ready to join Liverpool.

Richard Hughes will be focusing on the midfield come the next transfer window. It remains to be seen where Liverpool will finish in the Premier League table.

Right now, Champions League football next season is under serious threat. Both Chelsea and Manchester United are in a much better position than the Reds.

Where Liverpool finish and whether they can secure European football will determine the kind of players the club can attract.

Anfield Watch understands Liverpool have an impressive midfield shortlist that included the likes of Warren Zaire-Emery, Ayyoub Bouaddi, Kees Smit, Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton.

And there's another exciting midfielder who is on the club's radar and who confirmed he would be ready to join the Reds with a brilliant performance.

Anfield Watch understands the club are huge admirers of Caleb Yirenkyi, and could be making a move for him in the summer.

Yirenkyi plays for FC Nordsjaelland and he only turned 20-years-old last month but already has over 40 appearances for the Danish club that has an impressive track-record of producing elite talent who have gone onto do well in Europe's top five leagues.

The youngster proved once again what an impressive player he is for Nordsjaelland in their victory over FC Kobenhavn in the Danish Superliga on Saturday.

With Liverpool scouts in attendance, Yirenkyi was one of the best players on the pitch and put in a spectacular performance to help secure the three points for his side.

He covered vast swathes of ground and showcased exactly what he is about. The Ghanian won five out of seven ground duels, completed the most dribbles on the pitch (2), completed 79 out of 81 pass attempts, while creating two chances, and winning all of his aerial duels.

It was a phenomenal performance and it confirmed that he's too good for this level. It also confirmed that he is ready for the step-up to a club like Liverpool and that he very much fits the club's style of play.

Yirenkyi is all action. He's comfortable playing in a side that dominates the ball and also has to press high.

The youngster would flourish under Arne Slot's system. He may not be a regular started but as we mentioned above Liverpool need more than just one midfielder.

Wataru Endo is likely leaving Anfield. The future of Curtis Jones is up in the air. Having someone like Yirenkyi makes a lot of sense.

He can play anywhere in midfield and on top of that he can also cover at full-back, meaning he'd still play a lot of games even if he was not first choice.

His performance at Saturday will likely have blown the club's scouts away and all the Reds need to do now is to agree a fee for him before someone else does.
