British media: Liverpool was very interested in Flynn Poon last summer and said he was the first choice for the position

May 18th British media givemesport wrote an article talking about the inside story of Liverpool's introduction of Flynn Poon.

Flynnon is about to join Liverpool, becoming Slot's first pick this summer. Liverpool will trigger the 35 million euro termination clause of the right-back of Leverkusen, which the club believes is very cost-effective. Liverpool has been interested in Flynnon since last summer and has contacted Leverkusen for the first time. However, outgoing coach Alonso convinced 24-year-old Flynnon to stay in the team for another year.

Flynnon decided to join Liverpool before Arnold's future became clear. He will replace the upcoming England international to Real Madrid, but still faces competition from the acclaimed Connor Bradley, who has just signed a four-year contract with Liverpool. Despite the smooth and rapid negotiations, Flynnon has also attracted strong interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester City and Manchester United over the past 18 months.

It is understood that Flynnon's main reason for his interest in Liverpool is the conversation with Slott and his team, as well as the long-term projects offered by the club. Liverpool made it clear that they regarded Flynn Ponte as a key player, and even told him a year before he officially signed that he was their first choice in the position. Since joining Leverkusen from the Celtics in 2020, Flynnon has made 190 appearances for the team, scoring 30 goals, and is a key member of Leverkusen's winning of the 2023-24 Bundesliga championship.

Flynnon is not only a wingback, but it is part of what attracts Liverpool. He also has a lot of playing time in the traditional right-back position. Flynnon considers himself a right-back with offensive ability, able to perform well in the four-back system and is committed to improving his defensive ability. Flynnpon's defensive skills have been significantly mature, and he has also worked with dedicated coaches to improve his position, decision-making and one-on-one defense.

Liverpool, when analyzing Flynn Poon's data, found that his goals and assists ranks among the top European defenders in the past few seasons. Flynnon also has excellent physical fitness, and at Leverkusen, he excels in high intensity running, recovery sprints and total running distances, and he is proud of his unremitting efforts in his body.

Liverpool not only attaches importance to the talent of players, but also attaches great importance to their character. Flynnon was born into a poor family and was one of seven siblings, raised by hard-working parents. When he was a child, he had to ask others to carry him to train, and now he always tries his best to give back to society. Flynnpon's football career is quite unique. He was born in the Netherlands but moved to England as a child. He was qualified to play for England before committing to play for the Dutch national team, and he has made 12 appearances for the Dutch national team.
