Liverpool Are Interested In This Emerging Bundesliga Star: One For The Future? | OneFootball

As Liverpool look to solidify their unit ahead of next season, they are impressed with FSV Mainz attacker Brajan Gruda. The Premier League club find him a potential candidate to target in the summer, as reported by Sport BILD.

Gruda mainly plays as an attacking midfielder but can also be deployed on the right wing. He is good at dribbling and providing key passes. He likes to initiate counterattacks and can also launch rockets from long range. With more experience under his belt, the youngster is likely to get better and better.

The German player has scored four goals and provided three assists in 29 games this season. He is averaging 1.1 shots, 1.5 key passes, and 2.5 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).

Liverpool already have a high quality of players in the offensive line and would want to invest more in youngsters rather than going for big names. The pursuit of Brajan Gruda seems like a good move as the youngster can serve the club in the long run.

Gruda’s arrival will add flexibility and depth to the unit, which will be crucial when it comes to fighting for all the trophies. The Reds have only two natural wingers in the form of Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah and should sign a few more.

The acquisition of Gruda will cost only a reasonable price and that shouldn’t be an issue for Liverpool. However, they need to beat the likes of Aston Villa and Newcastle United in the race. It will be interesting to see how this chapter unfolds in the upcoming months.
