Liverpool enter the battle to sign 23-year-old African attacker


Samuel Chukwueze is attracting much interest from PL sides as Liverpool joins the chase for the Villarreal winger. Nigeria international could become the Yellow Submarine’s record sale if PL sides cough up their €50m asking price. Samuel has put in great performances for the La Liga club this term, attracting much interest from the English sides.

Former Villarreal boss Unai Emery already wants to bring Chukwueze to Aston Villa, while Arsenal are also keen. Villarreal’s €50m asking price could pose a problem for those clubs looking to negotiate with the Spanish side.

La Liga giants are not looking to sell him for a reduced sum, meaning only a handful of teams could invest huge sums in acquiring the Nigerian. Arsenal stay in the market for a young winger and may look at Chukwueze as an option. Their priority target is still Mykhaylo Mudryk, as they have placed a first bid for the Ukrainian winger.

Now, the Reds have reportedly entered the chase for the Nigerian winger. Having only signed Cody Gakpo from PSV ahead of January, the German manager stays open to adding further attackers to his squad. Samuel is a young, rising star with a bright future and could be developed into a top talent at Anfield.

The Merseyside giants are currently stacked with good attackers, but if someone leaves in January, space could open up for another footballer like Samuel Chukwueze.

Jurgen Klopp confident in Darwin Nunez’s return for Liverpool’s match with Wolves

Image
Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez and centre-back Ibrahima Konate are in contention to return for the home game against Wolves. Nunez missed Saturday’s goalless draw at Crystal Palace with a shoulder problem but trained fully yesterday and, providing there is no reaction, looks set to go straight back into the side. Konate has been out for a month with a hamstring problem but is also back with the squad. “Joe Gomez is out. Ibou (Konate) trained yesterday completely normal and Darwin as well. Then we will see,” said manager Jurgen Klopp. “Darwin we have to see. It looked absolutely OK yesterday, but we have to see how he reacts. Thiago (Alcantara) is in rehab. Luis (Diaz) I watched half-an-hour of rehab session on the pitch, doing shooting, moving. (He looked) really good but not in team training yet.”

Jude Bellingham to Liverpool transfer: Deal 'close' for England World Cup star

Image
Former Birmingham City star Jude Bellingham is reportedly “very close” to signing for Liverpool in the summer, following his impressive displays for England at the World Cup. The 19-year-old has already established himself as one of the best midfielders in world football, two-and-a-half years after St. Andrew’s for £25m. Bellingham has starred for Gareth Southgate’s side in Qatar and has long been touted with a move to Liverpool , as well as Real Madrid, PSG and Manchester City. Blues could be set for a windfall if Bellingham does seal a transfer in the summer, with The Athletic reporting that the club are in for 'at least' 5% of any profit, though Blues are yet to confirm an exact figure. Here is a round-up of what’s been said about the midfielder’s future: German journalist Christian Falk, head of football at SportBILD, has given an update on Liverpool’s interest in the Borussia Dortmund man. The Reds were initially interested in the teenager when he was at Blues, but eventua...

Liverpool can replace two players with signing of midfielder they've been linked with before

Image
If Liverpool’s midfield is not already in greater need of investment than it ever has been before, it soon will be. The Reds are the only club in the Premier League who haven’t had a single minute from midfielders aged between 22 and 28 this season. If that peak age vacuum wasn’t bad enough, three of the current options are out of contract at the end of this season, while Arthur Melo’s injury makes it all-but-certain his option to buy will not be invoked at the conclusion of his loan spell either. As for the soon-to-be-Bosman players, if James Milner moves on then the veteran will not be overly missed in the sense he rarely starts back-to-back games anymore. But what of Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain? They are Liverpool’s closest to prime age midfielders yet have played just 15 Premier League minutes between them this season (with Keita yet to feature at all). With records like that, and injuries having been a fairly constant issue for both players during their time with the Re...
