They have faced issues progressing the ball through the thirds, while their press has been easily bypassed.<\/p>\n<p>There is a lack of mobility and energy, which Camavinga\u2019s arrival would solve. His dynamism would add an extra dimension in that area and provide manager Arne Slot with a different option.<\/p>\n<p>The France international wouldn\u2019t necessarily provide an answer to the team\u2019s problems in possession, and that suggests another midfielder (such as Adam Wharton) would need to be recruited as well.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, those signings would necessitate current first-team players leaving. Curtis Jones is expected to depart, while Alexis Mac Allister (who has been linked with Real) could also be on the move.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more news on Liverpool?
