I’ve seen some reports today that we Have agreed a fee with Basel for Akanji, not sure how true it is, could one of the eds tell me if it is.

{Ed001's Note - I am a bit out of touch sorry, last I heard we wanted him but they wanted to hold onto him until the summer and we just were going to be kept aware of developments, such as them changing their mind and deciding to sell or other clubs making a bid that Basel were happy to accept. In other words, if he was going to go anyway in Jan, we would jump in. I have no idea if someone else has jumped in or they have decided they need funds so will sell him, though there is a lot of interest from Germany and Italy in him.}

Ed1, what do you make of him in terms of current ability and potential? I cannot claim to say I have seen much of him but excited if its indeed true we have agreed a deal as it show Klopp's patience with our central defenders has run out. All that is now left is Mignolet with Karuis coming in until summer to see how he fairs and my Xmas is complete.

{Ed001's Note - I have only seen him play a couple of games in highlight form mate. He is very highly rated, by people whose opinion I trust usually, so I would expect him to be very good.}

Ed 1 from what I’ve heard it’s a deal for the summer.

{Ed001's Note - that would make more sense. They did say they were open to selling in the summer.}

Apparently it was on his wiki saying currently playing for lfc from Dec 28th 2017 . But it's since been removed . So the plot thickens ;)

Thanks Ed1 if your connects rate him highly and you trust them that's all I need to hear, let's hope we get the deal done and annouced for January or for the summer.

{Ed001's Note - I hope they are right if we are signing him!}

Lightly rosterd, Anyone can go onto Wikipedia and edit a page so that doesn't mean anything really.
