Today,
Liverpool agreed to sign Emre Can from Bayer Leverkusen, the fee is believed to
be in the region of £9 million according to Guardian.
The
arrival of Can will definitely alert the players of his positions that a tough completion
is coming next season from the German.
Can
will give tough time to Lucas, below is the comparison.
Positions:
Can
is a versatile player, he can play in many positions like defensive midfielder,
attacking midfielder and even on a right back role.
Lucas
usually plays as a defensive midfielder. He can also play as a center midfielder
but due to lack of attacking qualities, he is mostly found on the defensive
position.
Qualities:
Can:
Strong in air, tackling, dribbling but lacks quality crossing and discipline.
The
German midfielder likes to play long balls and ground passes but the negative
point is that he commits fouls too often as it can be seen in the below stats
table.
Lucas:
Very strong in tackles, passing and especially interceptions.
Lucas
is fond of accurate passing and tackling. He
also commits fouls often.
