A promising young prospect during his time at Southampton, he made numerous appearances as a winger for Arsenal, and in the summer of 2017 he joined Liverpool in search of a midfield role, where he showed excellent combination with the front three in his first season with the club.
However, he was also hit by a serious injury, and as his time away from the pitch increased, he lost his position in the first team.
With the development of Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott, the 30-year-old midfielder was no longer indispensable and left for Turkey at the end of last season when his contract expired.
The former England midfielder ended his playing days at Anfield, but he still watches Liverpool games and revealed that he is in love with the play of Hungarian midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai among the new players.
“I mean, obviously, I watch a lot of Liverpool games,”
“The usuals: Mo Salah still scoring those goals. I’ve really enjoyed watching Dominik Szoboszlai. He’s sort of taken over from my sort of role and I’m really impressed with how good of a player he is and that he plays the game, how I sort of always want to play the game.”
“I think he’s got so much ability, physicality and just his character as a player. I think he’s just what we needed in there. He’s been really, really good. Trent tells me a lot how good he is as well. Trent says his shots are better than mine. He’s got everything.”
“I know what the other guys that I’ve played with are capable of so it was more interesting to see the new lads come in, what they can do. I’ve enjoyed watching him.”
