Xherdan Shaqiri

Xherdan Shaqiri looked in decent form last season, scoring 8 goals in 36 games for Stoke City. The 26-year-old has been signed by Liverpool for a hefty sum of 13 million pounds on a 5-year deal which signals their intentions of making their midfield line much more robust and intense.

The winger possesses terrific pace which can shut out the best defenses. The Swiss international has the ability to outclass the opposition with his electric counter attacks and combative moves. The former Bayern Munich player can be a threat inside the box because of his immaculate and spectacular finishes.

Shaqiri has been a clever operator in the flanks and has got this unique ability to set himself up in goal-scoring positions, which can catch the opposition off-guard. His presence will surely upgrade the quality of Liverpool’s midfield.

Shaqiri played a handy role for Switzerland in the World Cup during the league matches which helped them qualify for the knock-out rounds.
