This is the Blood Red podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

Hello and welcome to the latest offering for members of our Blood Red Club.

This week we're going to take a look at a player who's interesting plenty of teams around

Europe including Liverpool in Karim Adi Amy.

Adi Amy made his senior debut for Germany in the last international break and is being linked now with a 30 million euros

Transferm into Anfield as early as January.

I'm joined first by freelance sportswiter Ben Botchak to speak about Idi Amy.

Ben thanks very much for joining me.

How highly rated do you think Idi Amy is and why is it you think that

Liverpool are so keen on him supposedly as you know as these reports are seemingly suggesting.

Yeah nice to be on he's very highly rated I think is probably the best forward that has come out of the Salzburg set up since

Harlan. I'd put him above Pats and Dhaka. I mean as we said he scored on his international debut for Germany I mean that's that's pretty good for a 19 year old and

Liverpool have been tracking him since he was 16 years old before he moved to Salzburg.

He's wanted by Byron and Barcelona as well.

So that gives you an indication of just how highly rated it is.

Yeah, Liverpool have long sort of looked at Red Bull products. We know the long list of names associated with them and that's obviously because of the way they play.

Do you think how the Amy then is sort of the ideal fit for what Yorkinclops looking for in terms of

a forward player?

Absolutely, I mean when you look at his stats from this season,

I kind of, his defensive output is something that's really impressive for me.

So these are Wy Scout data but he's making 2.6 recoveries per 90 which if you compare

it to probably the Liverpool forward who makes the most defensive contributions for me know
