Hungarian midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai is the attacking midfielder in action for Liverpool. With England U-21 midfielder Harvey Elliott and England midfielder Curtis Jones also in reserve, they have a solid squad.
However, Elliott’s opportunities have not increased. Interest has also been received from Borussia Dortmund and Brighton. Jones is also more suited down the first row, with Alexis Mac Allister likely to be a direct rival.
According to Anfield Watch, Liverpool are looking at new attacking midfielders and are keen on Japanese midfielder Yuito Suzuki from Bremby IF. It also reports that they have been watching his development over the past 12 months.
The Kanagawa midfielder, who moved to Denmark from Shimizu S-Pulse in the summer of 2023, has played in all but two matches this season. He can play not only in front of midfield but also as a centre-forward or right winger, and made his debut for Japan in June 2024.
Although he is still young at 23, he has little experience on the big European stage.
If he were to suddenly try out for the Premier League, the world’s top league, there is a high possibility that he would have trouble adapting, so it would be better to go through the Bundesliga, Serie A or La Liga.
Will Liverpool be serious about acquiring a Japanese midfielder who has been active in Denmark in the future?
