Liverpool took another step towards being crowned the Premier League champions after they came from behind to defeat Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday. Callum Wilson put the Cherries in front after 9 minutes but goals from Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane turned the result on its head and ensured the visitors left empty-handed.
Georginio Wijnaldum was pictured sharing a moment with his international teammate Nathan Ake prior to the kick-off and shared the photo via Twitter. Ake’s response has led to much discussion regarding his future.
Would Nathan Ake be a good addition to this Liverpool squad?
Yes
No

What do we think?
It’s clear from the responses above that many Liverpool supporters would welcome the idea of Nathan Ake moving to Anfield. The 25-year-old signed for Bournemouth on a permanent deal from Chelsea in July 2017 after having spent a period on loan there previously. According to Transfermarkt.co.uk, the Dutchman cost Eddie Howe’s side £20.52m but since then his value has increased to £31.5m.
In the eyes of at least one of these supporters, he would be a great replacement for Dejan Lovren if he was to move on this summer.
