TBR’s View: Rabiot would be fine at Liverpool

That is, if Liverpool get the best version of Adrien Rabiot. The French midfielder has not always been at his best but seems to have had a good couple of years now.

He’s proven his worth with Juventus and France as well and whoever gets him on a free is getting a big player.

Jurgen Klopp is desperate for those midfield reinforcements to come in. But they need to have sufficient quality and Rabiot ticks a lot of boxes.

If Liverpool can pull this off on a free, then it leaves them room to add further as well.
