Monaco sporting director Paul Mitchell has admitted Takumi Minamino needs more time to adapt to life at the club after struggling for form following his move from Liverpool.
The 27-year-old made the £17million switch to Monaco in the summer, ending his two-and-a-half-year stay at the Reds after he joined from RB Salzburg in January 2020. During his time at Anfield, Minamino scored some important goals including the equaliser in the Carabao Cup quarter-final last season.
However, the Japan international decided to pursue a new adventure and chose to sign for Monaco despite reported interest from a number of Premier League clubs. It hasn't gone to plan for Minamino at the Ligue 1 outfit so far, with the midfielder scoring just once in seven appearances in all competitions.
