Who Liverpool should buy with Adam Wharton, Elliot Anderson and Eduardo Camavinga linked
Liverpool have been linked with a lot of midfielders, here are how three of them compare.
Liverpool will go again in the summer with a new midfielder near the top of the transfer wish list.
Several names have been linked with some costing more than others but all highly respected internationals and players who would strengthen almost every team in Europe. The Reds engine room is well catered for even if there might be a departure or two in the summer to add a freshness to the starting XI.
How Liverpool-linked midfielders compare
Alexis Mac Allister could leave and Curtis Jones was keen to move to Serie A in January. To replace them could be one of Eduardo Camavinga, Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson. Three players who all have the physicality, passing range and energy needed to succeed at Anfield.

Using Data MB to compare the three players, it is easy to see why they might be getting considered as potential summer options. There is little to choose between them technically. Wharton is the more attack minded passer but also wins the most duels. Anderson plays a higher number of forward passes and wins possession the most, however, Camavinga has no weaknesses and, if he isn’t top, is a close second across pretty much every metric.
What Fabrizio Romano has said about Camavinga
Camavinga is reported to be available for £43m with transfer supremo Fabrizio Romano confirming recently that the France international is probably on his way out of Real Madrid if new additions arrive at the Bernabeu. Romano said on his YouTube channel: “I also saw someone saying Camavinga would be the perfect replacement for Casemiro. Yes, but these are fantastic players and Real Madrid, I don’t think they have any intention to change their plans in midfield.
“They have eventually to add the player in midfield at Real Madrid, not to let the player go. So, at this stage, this is the reality, then still long time before the summer. If something happens with Tchouameni, with Camavinga, and I think also with Real Madrid, incomings in midfield, we will, for sure, let you know.”
