Liverpool have been linked in recent times with a number of players that might make the switch to Anfield maybe in the January transfer window or the next summer transfer window and one such players is Ilkay Gundogan.<\/p>\n
Liverpool continue to be linked with a move for the Borussia Dortmund midfielder and were planning a move for the player at the end of the season but with Juventus reportedly set to make a January offer, new reports are suggesting that the Reds may also be ready to make a bid for the player in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n
Liverpool have been after the player for a long while and the player said the last time that Liverpool made a bid that: “Playing outside Germany is one of my big goals. I’d like to play for one of the big teams in England.”<\/p>\n
This could mean that he will jump on the opportunity to play for Liverpool but the simple fact is that Liverpool do not need a player like Gundogan in their squad right now because he is more injury prone than any other Liverpool player and has had:<\/p>\n
* 13 separate injuries since the 2010-11 season.<\/p>\n
* 501 days (16.7 months) on the sidelines.<\/p>\n
* 108 games missed in that time.<\/p>\n
* Recently spent a year out with a spinal injury.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen what the decision of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp will be but this could be a disaster waiting to happen as the English Premier League is way harder than any other League and I just do not see Gundogan escaping injuries here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
