Liverpool bid for Wataru Endo and could still sign another midfielder

Some exclusive news that came out of the blue - Liverpool have submitted an official bid for Stuttgart captain Wataru Endo. Negotiations are ongoing and advancing very well over the 30-year-old Japanese midfielder. It’s an unexpected situation but a big opportunity for the player, and he wants to go to Liverpool, so there are very good chances for this deal to happen.

I’m told Endo is a very good midfielder - he might not be a star signing, but it looks like an underrated signing for a very professional, hard-working guy who is the typical kind of player appreciated by Jurgen Klopp. Keep an eye on this one and also for Liverpool to sign one more midfield player - remember that they lost both Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, so it’s possible they’ll sign two players, even if it’s not guaranteed.
