da realbet: Watford midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure is an impressive talent, but he is not the right signing for Liverpool at this moment.
What’s the word?
According to French news outlet RMC Sport, the Merseyside outfit are considering making a move for the 25-year-old.
Doucoure has become a crucial figure in Watford’s team and he has played every single minute of the club’s Premier League matches this season.
The midfield powerhouse has been linked to numerous top-level outfits, including Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain.
With the January transfer window approaching, Liverpool are likely to only consider signings that will boost their title bid.
Can Doucoure do that?
There is no denying the Frenchman’s talent, but he predominantly plays centrally or in a deep-lying role, which is not a position that Liverpool need bolstering.
It has taken some time, but the Reds’ summer signing Fabinho has shown in recent matches that he has the qualities of an all-round midfielder.
Signing Doucoure would give Jurgen Klopp extra options, but if the German coach wants a midfielder, he should be looking for one who shares similar qualities to Philippe Coutinho.
A negative of Liverpool’s play so far this season is that they have lacked creativity in the middle of the park.
Even though Doucoure has ability and strength, he is not the type of midfielder that the Reds need.
