I know they're in slightly different positions, but for pure silkiness I'm getting Mahrez vibes about this boy.

Seems to have developed an understanding with Vardy already. You can't go too far wrong if you're feeding the GOAT.

 

Love that he's always trying to make things happen, he's not one of these guys who will always make the safe pass. You need risk takers to make things happen in games. Just hope he doesn't get hammered too much when something he tries leads to a goal for the opposition, because that will happen at some point.

 

He is looking really good though. Got great technique.

His final ball felt rushed yesterday, and his decision making was a bit off.

 

…but he’s young, so that will get better, and he still gives so much to the team in other areas.

 

I love him, prefer him to Facundo already! :D

No one with any sense was. 

It’s a laughable to suggest he is crap after a few games, as it is that he will be one of the best midfielders of the next decade.

Wasn’t sure at first after the game against Everton, but I’ve done a complete 180 now. He’s just one of those players you love to watch. His first touch and some of his passing is unreal. A few through balls didn’t come off against Brighton, but the ideas were there, and the execution will come. He has so much craft and guile.

 

Having quality players like him and Facundo in the starting XI is what will hopefully separate us from the bottom three.

Liverpool Eye £21 Million Midfield Sensation
Liverpool’s reputation for identifying pinching young talents with immense potential continues under the stewardship of Arne Slot. According to Anfield Watch, the Reds are preparing to make a significant bid for Leicester City’s 20-year-old midfielder Bilal El Khannouss, a player previously admired during Jürgen Klopp’s tenure.

A Rising Star With International Experience
El Khannouss, who joined Leicester City for £21 million last summer, has impressed with his versatility and composure in midfield. In 13 appearances this season, he has contributed two goals and two assists, demonstrating his ability to impact games offensively.

 

His international pedigree is equally noteworthy. Having played at youth levels for Belgium, the midfielder chose to represent Morocco at the senior stage. He debuted at the 2022 World Cup and has already earned 18 caps, alongside a bronze medal at the Paris Olympics.

 

Why El Khannouss Could Be a Perfect Fit
Liverpool’s interest in El Khannouss is no surprise. The Moroccan’s attacking prowess and technical ability would make him an ideal rotation option for Dominik Szoboszlai, providing depth and competition in a vital position. His youth and experience suggest a high ceiling for development under Slot’s tactical system.

 

Should Liverpool secure his signature, El Khannouss could play a pivotal role in sustaining their midfield dynamism across competitions.

 

Our View – Anfield Index Analysis
The potential signing of Bilal El Khannouss ticks all the right boxes. At just 20 years old, he has already proven himself on multiple fronts—domestic, international, and even on the Olympic stage. His maturity on the ball and creativity could inject fresh energy into Liverpool’s midfield, complementing the already electrifying presence of Dominik Szoboszlai.

Fans will also appreciate the club’s commitment to securing young, promising talents rather than chasing established stars for short-term gains. El Khannouss’s style aligns perfectly with Liverpool’s high-pressing, attack-oriented philosophy, making him an exciting addition for both present and future campaigns.

The Moroccan’s decision to represent his heritage at the World Cup speaks volumes about his character, while his performances for Leicester City show he can handle the intensity of the Premier League. With Arne Slot’s eye for developing talent, this transfer feels like another masterstroke in the making.

If Liverpool manage to complete the deal, supporters can expect an injection of flair and ambition, further solidifying their midfield as one of the most dynamic in the league. The anticipation is real—Anfield could soon witness the rise of its next midfield star.

Liverpool have the small matter of renewing the contracts of Salah, VvD and Trent.  Given the wages they'll end up forking out they'll not have the dough to buy Bilal, and if they don't extend any of those contracts then their money will be spent on finding replacements for those players, none of which are mids.

Think he’s been the only one who’s looked like creating something. Get Ayew off for Facu - he’s done nothing wrong but we’re gonna need more pace and guile if we’re going to do something.

…we’re not going to do anything obviously.

This guy is too slow releasing the ball, he makes fewer forwards passes.

 

Which Maddison does better

 

He's currently too slow for the premier league pace
