High-end goods are here! The Sharp Knife has been confirmed to join Liverpool

According to multiple media reports, Leverkusen's 24-year-old full-back Flynn Poon has been confirmed to join Liverpool. The two sides will sign a five-year contract, which will activate the termination clause of his contract of about 35 million euros. After coming to Liverpool, he will replace Arnold, who will transfer to Real Madrid.

In today's football world, Flynnon is one of the most offensive right-backs. If he joins Liverpool, he will represent a completely different type of player.

Last season, Flynnon made 47 appearances in various competitions, scoring 14 goals and contributing 12 assists, helping Leverkusen remain unbeaten and successfully winning the Bundesliga championship. This season, he played 48 times for Leverkusen, scored 5 goals and sent 12 assists.

He has become a wingback who is "more like a winger than a defender" in Leverkusen, and his influence in the frontcourt can be seen from his data.

Leverkusen occasionally uses the four-back system this season, and Flynnon will be placed in the winger position. Liverpool fans have seen his performance with their own eyes when they beat Leverkusen 4-0 in the Champions League.

Judging from Flynn Poon's technical characteristics, he does not need to participate too much in the team's pass and control organization. His running is mainly focused on stretching the defense line without the ball. Whether it is sprinting into the penalty area or advancing vertically in the frontcourt, he has extremely high frequency and threats.

If he becomes Liverpool's first right-back, he either needs to adapt to a more balanced role or coach Slot may need to make tactical adjustments to give enough protection on the right.

Liverpool's right center back Conat has proved that he can cover a large area, but that is not enough. Slot will inevitably put forward new requirements for midfielders at that time, especially offensive midfielders on the right.

It is worth mentioning that Flynn Poon served as a more traditional right-back in the early years at the Scottish Celtics and before Alonso coached Leverkusen, and also played in this position in the Dutch national team. Therefore, if he becomes a teammate with Salah, both sides may be able to find a way to coexist.

Finally, do you think Flynnpool can succeed in Liverpool?
