Klopp’s long-term Wijnaldum problem could be solved with £42m transfer | Football | Sport

Although used predominantly in central midfield, Gavi is a versatile player who can also be used in other areas of the pitch.

Xavi has largely used the midfielder in the centre of the pitch, however, Gavi was deployed on the left wing for the recent 4-2 win over Atletico Madrid on Sunday.

The 17-year-old – who has already been capped four times by Spain – put Barcelona 2-1 ahead against Diego Simeone’s side with a glancing header which left Jan Oblak with no chance.

While it’s true that Klopp has young players coming through the ranks in Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott, he also has ageing midfielders in James Milner, 36, and Jordan Henderson, 31.
