Liverpool have reportedly overtaken Arsenal in the race to sign Romeo Lavia, who is expected to leave Southampton in the coming weeks.

Football Transfers claim that the Reds, alongside Chelsea, are now the favourites to land the Belgian teenager this summer, with Lavia one of the breakout youngsters in the Premier League last season despite going down with the Saints back to the Championship.

Lauded as a ‘phenomenal’ talent by Total Football Analysis, Lavia has established himself as one of the most coveted prospects in all of Europe, and Liverpool could now have a golden chance of signing the midfielder following this latest update.

Central midfielders remain Liverpool’s main priority when it comes to new signings this summer, and landing Lavia would be quite the coup for the Reds given how likely it previously looked like Arsenal were going to acquire the former Manchester City talent.

Indeed, Lavia has shown that he can compete in the Premier League against the best of the best, and for Liverpool, the midfielder will only get better under Jurgen Klopp’s coaching and playing alongside world-class players like Thiago Alcantara and Fabinho.

Liverpool have to take advantage of their new position with Lavia

Overtaking Arsenal for Lavia is now small feat for Liverpool, yet the Reds can’t allow this new opportunity to pass them by as the Anfield side now look like favourites to sign the midfielder, who could become an incredible asset in the years to come.

As we know, Lavia is one of the best talents playing in England and could develop into a world-class midfielder at the right club. And Liverpool have all the right tools and facilities to achieve the Belgian’s potential, which seemingly has no ceiling.
