da brdice： With Emiliano Insua set to depart Merseyside for Florence, Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson will need to turn his attention to securing a new left-back in time for the start of next season. Several sources have speculated on the identity of Insua’s successor, with many suggesting that Hodgson will make a move for Marseille’s Nigerian full-back Taye Taiwo. Would the Nigerian be a good signing for Liverpool?
25-year-old Taiwo moved to French champions Marseille in 2004, and has built a reputation as one of the most exciting left-backs in Europe. Strong and quick, the Nigerian has established himself as a firm favourite amongst fans of Les Phocéens. Whilst Taiwo has improved the defensive side of his game over the course of the last few seasons, he is still renowned for his attacking tendencies and ferocious left-foot. A frequent scorer of spectacular goals, Taiwo is also an adept set-piece specialist.
Taiwo first came to prominence on the back of his displays at the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in 2005. Although Nigeria were beaten in the final by Argentina, Taiwo was named the tournament’s third-best player behind team-mate John Obi Mikel and a little-known Argentine by the name of Lionel Messi. The left-back has since acquired 39 caps for the nation’s senior side, and featured for Nigeria at this summer’s World Cup.
With over 150 Ligue 1 appearances and 14 outings in the Champions League for Marseille, Taiwo has managed to acquire a wealth of top-level experience in Europe, and could be ready for a move to the Premier League. The likes of Ashley Cole and Patrice Evra have highlighted the importance of dynamic, foraging full-backs, and current Anfield right-back Glen Johnson has boosted the side’s attacking impetus on the right-flank. Taiwo could provide a similar option for Hodgson on the left, and may prove to be a perfect fit for Liverpool.
Evidence of Taiwo’s thunderous left foot!
