Is he good enough?
It’s always difficult to know how young players adapt to life at a top four side after establishing themselves at mid-table outfits, but Cook is certainly showing he is on the right track currently.
At 21 years of age, he already has plenty of senior experience under his belt at Leeds and Bournemouth, becoming a firm fixture in Eddie Howe’s team this season with 23 appearances.
A primarily defensive minded midfielder, his form has been good enough this season to receive a senior England call-up having represented his country at every age group from U16s up.
Whether he can immediately replace Can is debatable, he’s far from the finished product. However, learning under Jurgen Klopp could be perfect for his development and we’ve seen this season with the emergence of Andrew Robertson that young British talents have a lot to offer Liverpool.
If he’s available this summer, it’s a transfer certainly worth considering.
