Bobby Duncan is yet to make his Premier League debut under Jurgen Klopp but he still has a big future at Liverpool.
Liverpool have rejected a bid from Serie A outfit Fiorentina for coveted young striker Bobby Duncan, according to the Liverpool Echo.
With just days remaining in the transfer window, the Champions of Europe are receiving some rather unwelcome interest in one of the most promising young goal-scorers in British football.
A boyhood Liverpool fan whose cousin is none other than Anfield legend Steven Gerrard, it felt almost inevitable that Duncan was going to wear the famous red shirt of the six-time European champions.
After joining Jurgen Klopp’s side from North West rivals Manchester City, a player who became the first ever Englishman to score a hat-trick against Brazil at any level appears to have the world at his feet.
Duncan scored 32 goals for Liverpool’s U18s in 2018/19, winning the Youth Cup and forming a terrifying partnership up top with Paul Glatzel. So it is no real surprise that the Reds are determined to stop the teenager from slipping through their grasp.
The Liverpool Echo claims that Fiorentina have made an offer to sign Duncan on loan with an option to buy next summer for £1.6 million. Liverpool, however, have rejected the offer ‘out of hand’ as Klopp has big plans for a striker who made his mark in pre-season with a goal against Tranmere Rovers.
Liverpool fans should have nothing to worry about as they go to bed tonight. Duncan isn’t going anywhere.
