As TalkSport explains, Liverpool have been long-term admirers of the talented 22-year-old, who is a master of the pass and a fine finisher. His pace troubles defences and his agility for one so muscular makes him a real handful.
The stocky-but-skillful midfielder has had trouble breaking into Pep Guardiola’s side at the Allianz Arena but that is due to the quality of the players around him rather than a slight on his own abilities. His performances for Switzerland have made him stand out – he netted a hat-trick in the World Cup group game with Honduras.
