Julian Ward must sanction surprise Liverpool transfer for 'world-class' star

The transfer window remains closed, but Liverpool has recently been linked with a potential acquisition. The club is currently facing numerous issues that need to be addressed in order to remain competitive. Liverpool is currently unbeaten across all competitions, but Manchester City has won all five of their opening Premier League games, making it difficult for any other team to challenge them for the title.

Arsenal stands three points behind City while Liverpool is currently six points behind. Once the international break concludes, Liverpool's first match will be against Manchester City, potentially being a crucial match for the season. With Julian Ward set to become Liverpool's new sporting director, it is important that he approves any surprise transfers.

Liverpool is looking to strengthen their midfield, and Orkun Kokcu from Besiktas is being considered as a potential signing. The Reds currently have four solid midfield options, but Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch still need to improve before they can play effectively in that position. Many other number sixes were linked with Liverpool in the summer, but no moves were finalized.

Now, Liverpool is once again linked with Orkun Kokcu, who is a world-class star and one of Besiktas' most important players. It is likely that a deal for Kokcu would be expensive, but signing him as the Reds' new number six would help Ward establish a successful tenure.
