Football will soon enter the phase where the calls for new signings become louder with less than a month until the January transfer window opens. Due to Liverpool's recent domestic and international success, fewer calls have been unrealistic in previous seasons, but Jürgen Klopp and the hiring team are still faced with difficult choices.
Harvey Elliott, while still a viable cover option for Mohamed Salah, has begun to develop into a new central midfielder, leaving a void that the Reds must fill soon. However, it appears that Liverpool made the right decision to pass up the opportunity to compete with Manchester United for Antony in the summer.
The Brazilian international struggled to make an impact in the game against Seattle Sounders defender Nouhou Tolo on the right flank in his first World Cup start against Cameroon. Even after receiving a warning early on, Nouhou consistently outperformed Antony, unfazed by his ball-handling tricks.
While the left-back will be well-known to MLS supporters, his outstanding performance against five-time World Cup champions Brazil included five clearances, four tackles, and an interception that could draw interest from suitors in January, Antony's approach may be appealing to the eye, but for Liverpool…
Which is predicated on attacking efficiency, careless losses of possession would only make Klopp enraged on the sidelines — and Nouhou's performance against him has shown that the Reds were well to be cautious in the summer, If they had reached a deal with Ajax, FSG would have had to pay the same £85m (€99m/$105m) transfer record that was given up for Darwin Nez, a sum that may now be used to recruit a star midfielder.
