Liverpool have sent scouts to watch exciting young Hoffenheim winger Bazoumana Toure in action, according to a promising new transfer claim. Bazoumana Toure another great young wide option for Liverpool Toure isn’t yet a household name, given his age, but he is a player with an enormous amount of promise, being hailed this week by journalist Bence Bocsak, who lauded his many qualities, saying: “Not at all surprised to see Sports Bild linking Liverpool with Bazoumana Touré.

On top of that he’s an excellent provider. Not to mention he has the best dribble success rate (69%) among players who’ve attempted 4.5 dribbles per 90.” Toure is a left winger by trade, but is also adept in a right-sided role, which could mean he is seen as a possibility to succeed Salah on that flank.

A tally of 14 assists in just 39 appearances for Hoffenheim shows what a creative asset he could be for Liverpool, and while two goals isn’t a strong return, that number should only improve as he matures. He is also a main contributor for This Is Anfield, one of the world's biggest Reds-related sites, where he writes features and news, and covers matchday content.
