Liverpool are interested in signing Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze, according to Defensa Central.
As per the report, the Reds are keen to bring the 23-year-old to Anfield this summer, but they will face Premier League competition from Arsenal, West Ham, Everton and Aston Villa.
The Merseyside outfit seemingly hope to sign a right-sided winger to provide cover for Mohamed Salah.
The Nigeria international is close to entering the final year of his current contract, so he could be available on a cut-price deal if the Spanish club choose to cash-in on the player whilst his price is high.
Liverpool interested in Chukwueze
With a plethora of options on the left-wing, perhaps a right-sided player would be a useful addition for Jurgen Klopp’s squad.
Thus far this season, Chukwueze has bagged 13 goals and 11 assists in 41 appearances, proving to be a key player for Villarreal.
Hailed by Barcelona legend Samuel Eto’o as an ‘incredible’ footballer, it’s easy to see why Premier League teams are taking an interest in the 23-year-old.
According to France Football, Liverpool made a £29m bid to sign the Nigerian back in January 2020. However, that offer fell well short of the La Liga outfit’s £54m valuation.
Instead, Klopp has now reprised his interest in the winger, and the Reds could look to made a bid at the end of the season.
