Liverpool may need to move swiftly if they’re to sign a player who’s reportedly on Jorg Schmadtke’s wish list. The 59-year-old looks set to soon be installed as the Reds’ new sporting director and, according to he’s identified four players in the Bundesliga as prospective targets. One of those is Daichi Kamada, who’ll depart Eintracht Frankfurt this summer once his contract at Eintracht Frankfurt expires, but time could be of the essence if the Merseysiders are to land the Japanese midfielder.

The 26-year-old’s drive to get into threatening positions is also illustrated in his match average of 2.7 touches in the penalty area, placing him among the top 10% of midfielders in Europe’s five main leagues over the past 12 months ( . On the surface, it’d seem a no-brainer for the Reds to pursue a midfield player of such attacking inclination when he’s available on a free transfer and reportedly been identified by Schmadtke as a player he wants at Anfield. If Milan are as close to finalising an agreement as Romano has suggested, though, Liverpool’s impending new sporting director could need to work quickly if he’s to bring Kamada to Merseyside. If he can pull it off, it’d represent a very encouraging early coup by the German.
