If Leeds United sign Takumi Minamino before the end of the transfer window, he will almost definitely be guaranteed more game time than he has been getting at Liverpool.
He has made just 27 appearances for the Reds in the Premier League in over two years on Merseyside, a statistic made even worse by the fact that he started just five of them.
Liverpool rejected the Whites’ approach for the attacking midfielder on Thursday as they didn’t want to lose an important squad player.
