The Merseysiders’ positive overall result has seen them secure passage through to the next stage of the competition and a two-legged clash with ‘king of cups’ Unai Emery.

It’s a pretty remarkable stat to have accrued early in his Anfield career, and it’s more than promising to have a man in our ranks capable of chipping with the odd few goals in integral games.

The Frenchman has been a superb contributor when called upon this season – much in the same vein as Kostas Tsimikas – providing some great competition to the in-form Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk.

Whilst the time isn’t yet ripe for the former RB Leipzig centre-half to take his place alongside our Dutch No.4, there’s plenty to be excited about with regard to his future in the famous red shirt.
