5 Liverpool loanees who can break into the first team in the upcoming season

22-year old, Marko Grujic was a relatively accomplished footballer even before he signed for Liverpool in the year 2015. When he signed for Liverpool for a meagre sum of £5.1 million, he arrived with expectation on his shoulders.

In early January 2018, Klopp realised that he wasn't getting the best out of him and so loaned him out to Championship side, Cardiff City for the rest of the season.

At Cardiff, he made an immediate impact and proved to be a powerful presence in the midfield. In 12 appearances for the club, he managed to score one goal.

His playing style embodies everything that Klopp looks for in a midfielder. Extremely strong on and off-the-ball, the Serbian youngster rarely buckles from a challenge.

On account of his great knowledge of the game, he has grown into a successful interceptor of crucial balls that are played dangerously towards the goal. The fact that he can pass the ball and shoot well shows that he has all the attributes that are looked for in a box-to-box midfielder.

However, he lacks concentration and discipline both of which are needed to play regularly for a big club. Still young, he has time on his side and an opportunity to grow and mature into a well-rounded player. Hopefully, in the not-so-distant future, he will be given an opportunity to occupy the central midfield position in Klopp's favoured 4-3-3 formation.
