"That's a tall order" – Liverpool and Manchester City transfer idea shot down, player not good enough

Kenneth Perez questions whether Feyenoord winger Hadj Moussa has the elite-level speed needed for a move to Liverpool or Manchester City.

Anis Hadj Moussa has been linked with several Premier League clubs including Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle United and Sunderland after impressing at Feyenoord with 32 goals and 14 assists in 95 games. former Liverpool manager Arne Slot, who managed Hadj Moussa at Feyenoord, was reported to be leading their interest in December 2024.

However, analyst Kenneth Perez, who watches the 24-year-old winger regularly, has cast doubt on whether he possesses the elite-level speed required to compete at the very top. Perez acknowledged Hadj Moussa's extraordinary traits but suggested the gap between the Eredivisie and Europe's top eight clubs is significant.
