Liverpool Dark Horses to Sign Premier League Midfielder
Liverpool are interested in signing Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans. The Belgium international has been a star performer for Leicester City since joining from AS Monaco in 2019.
He has played 135 Premier League games for the Foxes so far, registering 21 goals and 19 assists. Tielemans helped Leicester claim one FA Cup and one FA Community Shield. He won the Leicester City Player of the Season accolade in 2020-21.
Signing a new midfielder will be a top priority for Jurgen Klopp during the upcoming transfer window. Almost all of the Reds’ senior midfielders have suffered injuries during the opening months of the season. Liverpool signed Arthur Melo on loan from Juventus during the summer window but he is currently facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines with an injury.
Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham and RB Leipzig’s Konrad Laimer are other midfielders linked with a move to Anfield in recent months.
The German club are interested in adding Tyler Morton to a potential deal to sell Jude Bellingham. Morton has impressed with his performances at Ewood Park, registering two assists in 22 appearances across all competitions this season.
Bellingham is Liverpool’s top midfield target for next summer. The 19-year-old midfielder is currently among the most sought-after midfielders in Europe. He has played 112 games (in all competitions) for BVB so far, registering 19 goals and 21 assists.
The England international has won the 2020-21’s VDV Bundesliga Newcomer of the Season award and also finished second in the final rankings of the 2021’s Kopa Award. Apart from Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Real Madrid are also interested in securing the services of the former Birmingham City midfielder.
