Liverpool eye Cher Ndour as solution for midfield issues
Summary

Liverpool is reportedly considering a move for Fiorentina midfielder Cher Ndour, who is valued at €30 million to €35 million. The club's midfield has been identified as a problem area, especially following the loss of Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott. Although Liverpool secured reinforcements in attack and defense during the summer transfer window, they did not add to their midfield options. The Reds' recent performances have highlighted the need for a midfielder that fits Andoni Iraola's system. Liverpool will need to assess Ndour's compatibility with their long-term plans before making a formal offer.
