Liverpool are monitoring striker Mousa Tamar, Anfield Watch has been told.
The 26-year-old is a left-footed right-back who became the first Jordanian to play in Ligue 1 after signing from Montpellier HSC on a free transfer this summer.
Having spent three seasons with Belgian side OH Leuven before his move, Tamari has enjoyed an impressive spell in France, scoring three goals in six Ligue 1 appearances so far.
Anfield Watch understands Liverpool have been keeping an eye on Jordan this season, having tracked his progress ahead of the summer.
Although there are obvious similarities between Tamar and the Reds’ Mohamed Salah – they are both left-footed, powerful players from Arab countries – Liverpool do not see the player as a potential successor to the Premier League’s record goalscorer, despite ongoing speculation about Saudi Arabia. . The Arabic object of interest. Instead, Tamar, who can also play on the left, is seen as someone who could complement or support Salah.
Tamar has had an interesting career so far, moving from the Jordan League to APOEL of Cyprus in 2018 before signing for Leuven.
According to Opta, no player dribbled more than the winger in the Jupiler Pro League during his time in Belgium. Next to the comparison of “King of Egypt” from Liverpool, Tamari was also called the “Jordan Messi”. However, it’s not a nickname he particularly likes. “I know some people call me that, but I don’t like the nickname,” Tamari said, as quoted by Marca in September. “The fans in Cyprus are a bit crazy and they came up with this nickname.
“They even made a song where they talked about me as ‘Jordan Messi’.
With Tamar in mind, Anfield Watch understands that strengthening the defense will remain a priority for the Reds in 2024. Fluminense’s Andre Trindade is also hoping to move to Merseyside this winter.
