Good news! Sensational star is coming back to Liverpool

A sensational player could be on his way back to Liverpool.

So far, so good for Andoni Iraola. Liverpool have not played amazing football under the Spaniard by any stretch of the imagination. But there has been a marked improvement compared to what Arne Slot delivered last season.

Naturally, as a new head-coach Iraola is going to be afforded a lot more time. His style of play is something that needs time for people to adapt to.

At Bournemouth it took Iraola's side a while to adjust to things and then when they did finally adapt, the Cherries were unstoppable with Iraola delivering their best ever campaign and leading them to Europe.

It's why patience is the most important word right now at Anfield. Liverpool simply have to give Iraola time.

Why Andoni Iraola will get the best out of Liverpool

The Spaniard's policy is a lot more connected to the ethos of the club. From the days of Bill Shankly, Liverpool's identity has always been about hard-work.

Jurgen Klopp restored that and Iraola is also bringing it back.

Liverpool's stars are once again pressing intensely and creating a line-up that is hard for the opposition to encounter. Lewis Koumas has been the epitome of this philosophy.

Unlike Slot, Iraola is willing to give young players a chance and he can even make them better. Look how much Koumas has already developed under Iraola. With Slot, in charge that was never going to be the case.

And ultimately this will be the recipe for success. Liverpool have always operated on hard-work and developing young players.

Good news for Iraola, exciting player is coming back

At this moment in time, Iraola has not had to contend with too many injuries. Obviously, the big ones who are missing are Hugo Ekitike and Connor Bradley.

There's no denying if Iraola had the duo at his disposal, Liverpool might be in even better shape.

But the Reds are going to have to wait for Ekitike's and Bradley's return. They are not really expected to feature until the end of the year.

Right now, Iraola has to focus on what he has and there's some good news in that regard.

Federico Chiesa could be back for Liverpool according to This is Anfield after the international break. The sensational Italian attacker could even feature in the EFL Trophy for Liverpool's U21 side according to the report in their second match of the group-stages against Chesterfield.

That is good news. Chiesa could be a valuable asset.
