Paul Merson Believes Liverpool And Man United Should've Signed Spurs' Latest 'Bargain'

This excellent season capped off a brilliant four year spell on the South Coast, where the Mali international made 124 appearances, scoring six times. 

The midfielder arrived at Brighton in the summer of 2018 after making his name in French football for Ligue 1 side Lille. 

Bissouma has previously been linked with a move to Anfield, and Paul Merson thinks the Reds may have missed a trick by not signing the former Brighton man.

“He’s better than Scott McTominay and Fred, I have no idea why Manchester United didn’t go in for him!

“He runs the show, affects football matches right from the get-go and is an all-round midfielder with quite a bit of Premier League experience under his belt. 

“No disrespect to Spurs, but why didn’t some of the other teams look at him and consider making a move for him?"

"I look at Liverpool’s midfield and feel he could play for them, especially if someone like Fabinho were to get injured. 

“£25 million in this day and age- it’s nothing. Spurs have nabbed an absolute bargain with Bissouma and he, in my opinion, has been the signing of the summer in the Premier League so far.”
