How Thiago's stats compare to Liverpool current midfielders as transfer deal agreed
Thiago Alcantara is reportedly on his way to Liverpool - but how do his stats compare to Jurgen Klopp's current midfielders?
Liverpool have reportedly agreed a deal to sign Thiago Alcantara from Bayern Munich. The Reds had been linked with the Spaniard for much of the transfer window. Thiago has entered the final 12 months of his Bayern contract as Liverpool close in on a £27million deal.
The 29-year-old joined the German giants from Barcelona back in 2013 and recently helped the club win the Champions League.
Jurgen Klopp's midfield already consists of Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum and Naby Keita.
So how do Thiago's stats compare to those of his future team-mates?
According to WhoScored, here are the numbers behind the players' league performances last season.
