The attack is one of them, particularly on the flanks, with many names being linked with a potential move to Anfield.But there is one player especially who seems most likely to join at this point in time, and Tim Sherwood reckons he would be Liverpool’s version of Eberechi Eze.Photo by Jacques Feeney/Offside/Offside via Getty ImagesTim Sherwood thinks Antoine Semenyo is just like Eberechi EzeThere are so many talented wingers in the Premier League right now, but one of the most in-form is Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo.He was sensational last season and he has followed it up with more impressive performances this campaign too, suggesting he is ready for the step up.Another player who was doing the same before his move was Eze at Crystal Palace, with Sherwood believing that these two are very comparable. He’s top drawer, a wonderful player, you know what you’re going to get,” Sherwood said on Sky Sports.“The only question mark is that it’s ok to play for Bournemouth and Bristol City, but can you play for Tottenham?
