Liverpool midfielder Mateusz Musialowski has emerged as a target for Birmingham City.
The 20-year-old, nicknamed the ‘Polish Messi’, is known for his dribbling ability. He has quick feet, great balance and can finish off either foot but Liverpool have plenty of competition in the attacking midfield and forward areas.

‘He’s taking more responsibility for his all-round game and he commits to every phase of the game now.
