West Ham’s Mohamed Diame said this week:<\/p>\n
\u2018Liverpool? I can\u2019t tell you if I will be a Liverpool player next season. But I think my name is still on their wanted list.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2018I don\u2019t hide it, I\u2019m ambitious and I want to join a top-six side. I am 26 years old and it\u2019s time to take that step.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n We have always liked the player and he’s always looked as if he could go up a level or two if his fitness was good.<\/p>\n But injury hasn’t helped his career of late and that possibly stalled a move to Liverpool a couple of years back. But, unfortunately for Diame, Liverpool two years ago is very different from Liverpool now.<\/p>\n They will certainly need to strengthen the midfield areas in the summer but is Diame now good enough for that midfield?<\/p>\n Steven Gerrard’s is into the final few years of his career but is still a far better player than the Senegal international.<\/p>\n Beyond that Henderson has been a revelation this season and will continue to anchor the Liverpool midfield again next season.<\/p>\n Add Lucas and Joe Allen into the mix and you’ve got players who are hungry for success and have real natural ability.<\/p>\n So while we think that Liverpool will strengthen their midfield in the summer we aren’t sure that Diame would be seen as the right player to come in.<\/p>\n Liverpool fans is Dimae good enough for the club?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
