Takumi Minamino transfer the latest
as Japanese star heads for medical. A home debutant looking to announce himself
in one of the most dramatic ways possible. Stop us if you've heard this one
before. Football enthusiasts around the world can obtain Premier
League Tickets online to enjoy its superb
performances.
It was in January 2017 when Virgil
van Dijk nodded home a late winner for the Reds, his first game since his world-record
move from Southampton, to send his new side into the FA Cup fourth round and
eliminate their Merseyside rivals.
In truth, the Dutch defender did not
need much of an introduction to the world or those at Anfield. After a
protracted pursuit, Van Dijk had become the world's most expensive defender
days earlier in a £75million move ($98.4million). His late goal against Everton
only served to announce his arrival in spectacular fashion.
Takumi Minamino
Now, Takumi Minamino is set to attempt
similar. His transfer fee will be much smaller - £7.25million ($9.5million) and
his reputation nowhere near as big. Yet as the Liverpool Echo report, the Red
Bull Salzburg attacker will have his medical with the club today ahead of a
January 1 move, with his first game potentially against Everton in the FA Cup
on January 5.
It would be an intriguing
introduction but especially given what is happening across Stanley Park right
now. Carlo Ancelotti looks set to take over at Goodison Park after being sacked
from SSC Napoli earlier this month. Minamino, of course, not only played
against Liverpool in this season's Premier
League but also the Serie A side when managed by Ancelotti.
Minamino featured in the two games,
which Red Bull Salzburg picked up just a solitary point from, and impressed in
Austria. He recorded three shots, two key passes and had 64 touches, the fifth-highest
in the side. He also completed two dribbles and made two interceptions,
highlighting his ability both on and off the ball.
The 24-year-old is set for a reunion
with not just Liverpool, then, but also an Ancelotti side which will be looking
to spoil his debut. Van Dijk managed to avoid that. The Japanese international
will be desperate to do the same.
