OPINION

Sometimes you read a transfer report so bizarre that you can’t help but despair a little, something so odd that you feel as if your intelligence is being called into question. And that’s certainly the case with the Mirror’s latest report that PSG are interested in Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana. According to the piece, the French giants are viewing the 31-year-old as a potential replacement for Edinson Cavani, who is exiting for LA Galaxy in the near future. Now, on the one hand, Lallana is out of contract soon, and it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see him leave Anfield next summer. On the other, the prospect of him not only going to PSG, but going to PSG as a replacement for a prolific hitman is something else entirely. So far this season, Lallana has averaged just 0.6 shots on goal per game in the Premier League, as per Whoscored. Granted, he is playing in a deeper role, but nonetheless, he is not the man to fill the boots of a striker as dangerous as Cavani. This is ludicrous. Of course, it would be foolish to rule it out, but certainly, it would be a shock if anything came of it.
