On June 26, Wataru Endo, the Japanese international playing for Liverpool, sent a message to the club’s new manager, Jurgen Klopp, hoping the Reds would sign a new defensive midfielder.
In the 2023-24 season, Endo played 43 games for Liverpool, scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist, with a generally commendable performance. Endo said he hopes the team will sign a new No. 6 player (defensive midfielder) to improve the team’s squad depth, even if it affects his playing time.
Endo concluded his interview by saying: “I don’t care about those reports, but I also think it would be the best outcome if we could sign a No. 6. Now Mac Allister and I have a lot of playing time, and Thiago is also in the same position, but he is plagued by injuries and will leave the team at the end of the season. Of course, we also have the younger Bajcetic, but it is unknown how much he can contribute to the team. I’m not worried about the team signing a new No. 6 because it will help to strengthen the team’s overall strength. I’m not afraid of competition because I’m confident I can win a place through my efforts.”
