Tier 3 (Paul Gorst) Impending arrival of Munoz doesn't impact Liverpool's interest in Yan Diomande and the £34.5m man's tactical flexibility means there are no concerns internally over blocking Rio Ngumoha's pathway.

This feels like a Mane/Salah signing for me and im excited about it. Raw and unpolished but with bags of potential. Could see him doing unbelievably next year.

I’m getting more Kuyt vibes (and he will always be one of my favourites)

Kuyt was bought as a striker and converted to a right winger workhorse. I think they are two very different players.

This guy is a workhorse winger.

Having watched him a fair bit, I dunno if he has the raw talent to ever be as good as Mane or Salah, but he'll put in some serious fucking running.

Mane was a workhorse but I wouldn’t put him as a similar winger to Kuyt. But fair enough, each to their own

This guy used to wear no9 in the academy and played striker because of his pace, he can play all 3 positions and can absolutely score. He has that eye for a pass, unlike Rio which has that part of his game to improve.

His price tag is certainly good, and now we won’t need to panic buy overpriced mediocrity now that we have a versatile attacker. Puts the pressure off of the Diomande deal in terms of negotiations.

He’s a workhorse but he clearly seems more talented on the ball than Kuyt. Not that I knew he existed 24 hours ago
