Liverpool can strike special deal to replace Alexis Mac Allister

Liverpool's system simply needs someone who is better with his forward passing and who can involve himself in that aspect of the build-up.

That right now doesn't seem to be Mac Allister. With murmurs of Real Madrid being interested in him and the fact that Liverpool have opened contract talks with Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch but not the Argentine, it feels like there is an obvious ending to this story.

Liverpool may be far better at cashing in on Mac Allister and replacing him with someone else instead.

That someone else could be a special midfielder in Lamine Camara, who has long been one of the best and brightest young midfielders in Europe's top five leagues.

Camara is an elite deep creator. Out of U23 midfielders in Europe's top five leagues who have played at least 1500 minutes in the last calendar year Camara ranks in the top five for progressive passes per 90 minutes (8.09).

He has also notched up the most assists (10) and averages the highest expected assists (0.27 per 90 minutes).

In terms of his on the ball qualities Camara would be a massive upgrade on Mac Allister. But he also has a lot to offer out of possession.

The Senegalese midfielder who comes from the same academy as Sadio Mane in Generation Foot, is capable of covering a lot of distances and he's a strong duel winner.

He'll add the ability to win second-balls for Liverpool in that midfield area because he is very good at those situations.

He's only 21-years-old so he's got so much time to improve and get even better. The step-up from Ligue 1 to the Premier League is a massive one.

But Fabinho had made that move not too long ago from the exact same club Camara plays for in AS Monaco, and he fared pretty well at Anfield.
