Wieffer’s contributions on the pitch tell a tale of adaptability. His 37 appearances for Feyenoord last season spanned various roles, showcasing his versatility and willingness to slot into different positions. As a defensive midfielder, central midfielder, and even as a centre-back on occasion, Wieffer certainly displayed a dynamic range that could potentially align with Liverpool’s tactical demands.

The recent exodus of almost all our first-choice midfielders coupled with a sense of lack of investment in the squad meant that the Reds, sooner than later, needed to reinvest in the squad.

Even though we have Wataru Endo, Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister, having a proper out-and-out defensive midfielder behind the latter two would allow them to explore their creative best without fearing tracking back.
