Jakub Blaszczykowski: Liverpool To Finally Sign £7M Bundesliga Wing Sensation


Reports in both Poland and Germany suggest Liverpool will launch a fresh £7m bid for Borussia Dortmund winger Jakub Blaszczykowski in the summer after the star has made an impressive return to fitness following a long injury lay-off.

He has been on Rafa Benitez’s radar for a while but after an impressive end to the Bundesliga season, Liverpool look set to finally get their man.

Though the 23-year-old Polish international is relatively unknown of in this country, he is highly-rated in Europe and would finally add balance and competiiton to the right-side of midfield without sacrificing the team’s work ethic.

Blaszczykowski is an attacking right winger and would finally provide expertise in that position to a Reds side that has been using Dutch forward Dirk Kuyt in that role to good effect this season.

The Anfield giants Premier League hopes have faltered in recent weeks but they still have an extremely strong spine to their team but have been criticised for sometimes lacking the width and guile that Manchester United possess.

However, Albert Riera’s summer arrival and the increasing interest in Blaszczykowski suggests that the width and dribbling ability the team has been crying out for will be in place this summer.

Rafa is also reported to be interested in Bordeaux’s on loan midfield star Yoann Gourcuff who would cost more but would add flexibility as he can also play on the left and in the role currently held by Steven Gerrard.
