Another weekend goes by and although Glastonbury stole the headlines, it hasn’t gone unnoticed that the Reds are still yet to add to the signing of Alexis Mac Allister this summer.
Despite the lull in speculation, the same names continue to remain on the agenda for Liverpool and once again they’ve all been involved in one way or another at the Under 21 European Championships.
Before we get into those links however, both Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott played an impressive part in a 2-0 victory for England over Israel, with the latter enjoying a cameo late on whilst Jones stood out during a magnificent midfield display. The Scouser played all 90 minutes, earning a 7.60 Sofascore rating as he completed 136 touches, all nine of his attempted long balls and, just to add to a complete midfield performance, he won three tackles.
BOBBY FIRMINO: BEST IN THE WORLD
As for those who aren’t Reds just yet in some cases, there were mixed fortunes in terms of their personal outings and I’ve taken a look at the stats via Sofascore to assess how they fared…
Spain 1-0 Croatia
It was another cameo for Gabri Veiga as the talented Spaniard continues to play a surprisingly lesser role for the young Spain side. The 21-year-old made five accurate passes, had one shot blocked and won two ground duels in his 28-minute-long appearance.
Portugal 1-1 Netherlands
Two possible future Reds in this one as both Ryan Gravenberch and Micky van de Ven played the entirety of a fascinating draw against fellow tournament contenders.
Gravenberch completed 62 passes, one key pass and successfully outwitted his opponent with his dribbling on three occasions. To add to his attacking prowess-laden display, the Dutchman also won 11 ground duels and made one interception.
Wolfsburg defender Van de Ven also played 90 minutes, completed one clearance and won one ground duel.
Norway 0-1 France
