Reds urged to sign 'absolute midfield engine'

Liverpool have been told to consider signing Lille midfielder Renato  sanches as a replacement for Gini Wijnaldum

Sanches lifted the Ligue 1 title with Lille last season and has turned his career around in impressive style, having failed to impress during an underwhelming loan spell with Swansea City in the 2017/18 campaign.

The Portugal international  is still only 23 years of age and former Reds defender Jose Enrique views Sanches as a player Klopp should target in the transfer window.

"This [Sanches] is the man I want to replace Gini. He steps up on the big stage," said the Spaniard on

Instagram .

"This man is an absolute engine and knows how to dictate a midfield like Gini did. He’s physically a level above others, he seems like a perfect fit for Klopp. He also has that creative aspect which Gini had."
