Liverpool transfer news today: Premier League star EXCLUSIVE, wonderkid to RIVAL
Here's all your latest Liverpool transfer news.
EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool like El Khannouss
Liverpool have been closely monitoring the progress of the Moroccan international since he emerged as a promising young talent in Belgium.
El Khannouss played at Anderlecht before moving to Genk and has benefitted from Belgium's excellent development system before making the move to the Premier League.
While at Genk, Liverpool were interested in El Khannouss' services with the youngster having shown a lot of promise. However, they were turned away by the £21m price tag.
Teenager leaving for rival
It doesn’t always work out with every player at the club, however. That’s the unfortunate reality of the game.
A clear-cut example of this is under-16 forward Cornelius Akaunu who has now gone on trial with Tottenham.
Akaunu scored for Liverpool on what will seemingly be his final appearance, a 4-0 win over Fulham on Sunday.
His imminent departure was announced on the @lfc.academy Instagram account.
Edwards finally finds a win
Michael Edwards' persistent heartbreak at being pushed back on his desire to tap into the South American market is finally about to end.
He now has full control at Anfield and Liverpool have accelerated their efforts to strengthen from the region.
The club's latest pursuit of Franco Mastantuono is proof of that. Liverpool are reportedly ready to make a record breaking transfer for the 17-year-old and beat countless top teams in the process.
Liverpool's Girona target
Girona's Miguel Gutierrez is a player Liverpool reportedly like. The Spaniard is a left-back and one playing an unconventional role against the Reds.
Yes, he's on the left side but the 23-year-old gets around all over the pitch. At times he's covering Dominik Szoboszlai in defensive midfield, then he's pressing Trent Alexander-Arnold, then he's up top in the centre-forward role.
It's a fascinating display so far and one that will have Liverpool wondering. Gutierrez is primarily a left-back, with the Reds in the market for one sometime soon.
