Liverpool reportedly remain interested in Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia, with the Reds eyeing the youngster having signed Dominik Szoboszlai this weekend.
According to the Daily Mail, the Belgian wonderkid is a target for the Anfield side after a full season of Premier League football with the Saints, with Lavia now expected to join one of the division’s biggest clubs after Southampton’s relegation to the Championship.
Although Liverpool have signed Alexis Mac Allister and now Szoboszlai this summer, Jurgen Klopp’s side seem intent on adding a third midfielder before the start of the season. And Lavia could well be that player following this latest update.
Lauded by Total Football Analysis as a ‘ridiculous’ talent, the 19-year-old is regarded by many as one of the most exciting players currently plying their trade in England. And although Liverpool face competition for Lavia, they could stand with a very strong chance of signing the midfielder.
Indeed, Liverpool’s latest project under Klopp is one of the most exciting in the Premier League going into the new season. And for a talent like Lavia, Anfield could be a dream destination based on how ideal the environment will be coupled with how much playing time the teenager could get.
Liverpool could give Lavia the platform to become a world-class midfielder
Lavia’s potential is near-limitless. And at the right club, the midfielder has what it takes to become one of the best in the world in his position, a prospect that Liverpool can achieve if they’re to move for the teenage sensation this summer.
With Szoboszlai signed, attentions can now turn to a younger midfielder who can be viewed by Liverpool as a long-term project under Klopp, a criteria that Lavia matches to a tee in the transfer market
