Liverpool Target Could Thwart Spurs

He nearly signed for the Reds on transfer deadline day but now he's available to torment Spurs in the Europa League.

Tottenham head to the Ukraine on Thursday night and one man stands out as a particular threat for the hosts. Yevhen Konoplyanka has scored three times in the Europa League already for Dnipro and is a bargain at best odds of 7/2 (Bet365) in the anytime goalscorer market.

The thing that really grabs my attention about the 29-year-old is that, despite playing in midfield, only one player has had more shots on target in the Europa League this season; 12 of Konoplyanka’s 13 attempts have tested the goalkeeper. Only his compatriot Andriy Yarmolenko can better that tally.

With Spurs set to rest a whole host of first team regulars, the man who nearly signed for Liverpool on transfer deadline day can add to his growing reputation.
