Junior Firpo's exploits at Real Betis have made him one of the hottest commodities in world football. Going by his performances last season, it is safe to say that there's nothing the U-21 international can't do on the pitch.

He held the highest pass completion rate among the left-backs in the La Liga last season - 82% - and stacked up five goals along with seven vital assists as well. He is also a prolific tackler (1.6 tackles per game on average for the - U21s), someone who pushes himself to rush back every single time. The 20-year-old is aerially good too.

Firpo is someone who loves to express himself with the ball, and who better than Jurgen Klopp to grant him the license to do so?

However, the Reds will have to fend off interest from a host of potential suitors to secure his signature namely Barcelona, who are the current front-runners in this transfer race.
