Can has many admirers, we are not sure if it is his hair or his amazing knee-slides but the young midfielder does seem to be a hit with the ladies – and guys.

The fans were full of praise for Can yet again.
I’d like to take a moment and appreciate the unsung heroes of Liverpool’s PL season: Simon Mignolet and Emre Can.

Emre Can has been injured for more than 75% of this season and still played 31 games in the PL says it all about him…. #LFC

One player I’m particularly happy for on winning Young Player of the Year award today was Emre Can. I think he is one of our most improved.

The stats say it all really.
Emre Can’s Premier League season in numbers:
32 games
5 goals (career best)
82% passing
33 chances created
146 tackles
113 headed duels pic.twitter.com/e9LWRmAG4g— LFC Stats (@LFCData) May 21, 2017
Should Emre Can get a new contract? He will have just 12 months remaining on his current deal at the end of the season.
The Reds may be forced into selling Can if an agreement is not reached.
Signing Emre Can to a new long term contract should be the first priority this summer. Was pivotal to the team’s resurgence after March.

First and most importantly, a big congratulations to Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool. It is true that Emre became a strong reliable player. His success in protecting the back 4 and driving forward with brilliant passes became key to turning Liverpool’s fortune around. I personally didn’t think Liverpool would make top 4 as they proved incapable of defending and worse, teams figured them out, but Klopp and Co somehow managed to cross the line with champions League football a reality. I personally expected much more as the final game was quit nervy and no silverware. Klopp is one of the best and should now push even harder. Liverpool have waited for this calibre of coach for a long time and success is all that matter for the Reds come new season.
