Summary

Liverpool are one of several clubs around Europe to be linked with a move for Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Yves Bissouma. So, Matt Addison speaks to those who have watched the 24-year-old midfielder and know his game extensively to get the lowdown on the possible Reds summer transfer target. Firstly, Brighton podcaster Charlie Haffenden explains why he feels Bissouma could become a world-class player under Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp - and outlines why a bid of £40m+ might be required to tempt the Seagulls into a sale. Analysing Anfield hosts Josh Williams and David Hughes then offer insight into the statistical and tactical factors behind the links to the Anfield giants. And those links to Bissouma are only likely to increase as the clock appears to tick down on Gini Wijnaldum's time at Liverpool.Watch and subscribe to our Blood Red videos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BloodRedLiverpoolFCJoin our Blood Red podcast group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1656599847979758/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Hello and welcome to the latest Under the Radar podcast with me Matt Addison, Liverpool host Brighton in the Premier League on

0:14.9

Wednesday night and there's a couple of players being linked with the Reds who are among

0:19.0

Graham Potter's squad. One of those is of course Ben White, but the other is Marley and midfielder Eve's

0:24.5

Bissuma, who we're going to take a bit of a look at today. Joining me first of all to do that is

0:29.5

Charlie Hafenden from the Let's Talk Brighton podcast. Charlie, thank you very much for joining me.

0:34.3

I mean, first and foremost, could you give us a quick overview if you like of the type of player that

0:39.4

Presumor is and I suppose the importance to Graham Potter's Brighton as well this season.

0:43.4

Well he's extremely important to the way Brighton wants to play.

0:46.4

He's an essential player in Graham Potter's squads.

0:49.0

He's always starting games.

0:50.3

Somehow, over a very congestive festive fixture schedule, he's been playing near enough every game.

0:54.8

The only game he missed was against Mad City when he was suspended from too many yellow cards.

0:58.7

That's one thing he does like, he likes the yellow cards.

1:00.9

But he's a proper work course in that midfield. He will never stop running for the team.

1:04.4

He must have one of the most miles covered for Brighton this

1:07.6

season. He breaks up the play well, he drives it forward. He does

1:10.9

absolutely everything you need him to do and he's well above

1:13.4

Brighton's level to be honest with you. I think he could play probably in any of the
