Liverpool are seemingly closing in on signing Romeo Lavia from Southampton , who would potentially complete Jurgen Klopp's midfield signings for the summer. The 18-year-old was thrown in at the deep end against Chelsea for his first Premier League start and earned huge plaudits for his display at the heart of midfield. He went on to start six of Liverpool's next eight Premier League games as well as starting in the first leg of the Champions League last-16 tie against Real Madrid. Under an Instagram post from Liverpool after the game, Gerrard wrote: “Brilliant tonight @Stefanbajcetic," along with a fire and clapping emoji. Mohamed Salah also gave Bajcetic a glowing review after the match, calling the midfielder Liverpool's "best player" since breaking into the team.
