3) He’s hungry and English
Although Luis Suarez was a huge part of Liverpool’s successful formulae last term, the tightly knit group of young, hungry, technically excellent Englishman was the base of the side.
Jon Flanagan, Jordan Henderson, Raheem Sterling, Daniel Sturridge and Joe Allen (yes, we know he’s Welsh…), epitomised this in 2013/14, and the team moral, cohesion and drive led to 100 Premier League goals being scored.
Lallana will be desperate for success having spent time playing in the lower leagues, and he should be able to settle quickly into the group.
