Liverpool fans name 'most wanted' transfer who they rate higher than Saul Niguez

Ibrahima Konate remains the only first-team addition to the Liverpool squad in the current transfer market.

Gini Wijnaldum leaving for Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer left a vacant hole in midfield and a host of players have been linked with replacing the Dutchman at Anfield.

Atletico Madrid’s Saul Niguez, Inter Milan’s Nicolo Barella, Lille’s Renato Sanches, Borussia Monchengladbach’s Florian Neuhaus and Brighton's Yves Bissouma are just some of the names touted with a switch to Liverpool.

Another is Youri Tielemans, and fresh research suggests he is the one that most Kopites want to see in a Reds shirt.

According to a poll run by Sporting Index, the Leicester City midfielder is the player Liverpool fans want to see join the club more than any other than has been linked so far.

The poll of 700 Reds supporters showed that, of the players the club have been reported to sign, 37 per cent would like to see the Belgian star make the move to Merseyside.

Saul is second on the list with 30 per cent of the vote, while Wolves forward Adama Traore (20%)and Sampdoria’s Mikkel Damsgaard (13%) make up the rest of the vote.

Tielemans joined Leicester on a permanent deal in the summer of 2019 and has two years left to run on his current deal.

Rumours have suggested that the Foxes are prepared to offer the 24-year-old a new deal in order to fend off interest from other clubs.
