    I think Kephrem Thuram could be a option for us as a left 8

    6ft4, good in the air, good off the ball (that’s why Klopp wanted him)

    But mainly he has elite ball carrying - TDK made a point of saying this seems to be what we lack atm

    He’s a good short passer as well

    Young and won’t cost a bomb too

        The different knock - he’s no Catsenal doesn’t go super in depth but we do miss carrying from deep without Partey and Timber

        I had other names ahead of Thuram but after seeing what Arteta tried with Havertz at left 8 I think Thuram makes sense

        We’ve seen how much space Rice has to carry there, something Xhaka never did, Thuram would be lethal

        Also Tomiyasu’s header vs City Thuram would be good at that

        Seems to tick most boxes - right footed is the major one Arteta would want ticked tho

      Was sure Pool would sign him. Would definitely be more realistic than Luiz or Zubimendi.
