Former Liverpool forward Takumi Minamino has been branded as the Ligue 1 flop of the season so far by French media.

The 27-year-old brought an end to his two-and-a-half year stay with the Reds this summer as he joined Monaco in a £15million deal.

Since joining his new club, Minamino has been limited to just two starts in Ligue 1 and deployed from the bench on six occasions.
