Liverpool Looking to Seal Versatile Player Signing who's Got "Impressive Physical Dominance"

The winter transfer window will start in just over a month and Liverpool are already linked with more than a few quality players.
Recent reports have suggested that manager Jurgen Klopp is confident that Liverpool (via Star)will sign Dutch international and Southampton star Virgil van Dijk in the January transfer window.
Even Man United want the former Celtic star (via Mirror). We shall see how that transfer saga will unfold because in winter.
There is a new name linked with a move to Liverpool in the form of Atlanta’s Franck Kessie. According to reports (Liverpool Echo via CalcioMercato), the Reds are going to battle Juventus to sign the 19-year-old starlet.
The teenage Ivorian is a versatile talent who can play in multiple midfield positions. This season, he has been in impressive form for the Serie A side. In 12 appearances, Kessie has scored 6 goals and provided 2 assists.
Atlanta are currently in 5th position, just a single point behind 2nd place AS Roma and Franck is a key member of Gasperini’s squad. The Atlanta boss recently praised the youngster and claimed (Tribal Football):

“Technically he has a good foundation and an impressive physical dominance. I guess he can play one day at a big club.”

Kessie is mainly a defensive midfielder and idolizes stars like Yaya Toure and Michael Essien. Moreover, Manchester United is his favorite team and he wants to play for them (ESPN). Therefore, it will be fair to say that luring him will be tricky for United’s arch rivals Liverpool.
