This guy is class and ETH should know that because he cost him the cup final. I see a lot of people here wanting him to be more than what we need which is a real enforcer who can connect the defense to the attack.
In a comparison against Kante, Rodri, Fabinho and Casemiro, Sangare shines.

This is one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe. He is better in the air and on the ground than the best around. He's a goal threat, he makes a lot of forward passes and he can swivel out of players under pressure as his 1.8 take-ons per 90 show.
Next season could be his world-class season. Are we really going to let him do that at Liverpool?
