According to Expressen, Leeds, Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Wolves are in talks with FC Midtjylland over a deal for Jens Cajuste.
What’s the story?
Well, the Premier League quartet are all fighting to sign the 21-year-old, who could be leaving the Danish outfit imminently.
FC Midtjylland left Cajuste out of their squad to face Celtic in Tuesday evening’s Champions League qualifier at Parkhead.
That was to ensure he didn’t get injured ahead of a big-money move away from Denmark.
FC Midtjylland want SEK 140 million for their No.40, which equates to £11.8m.
French side Rennes have already bid for the 5-cap Sweden international.
Expressen add that Brentford are also keen. However, it’s the aforementioned quartet who are pushing hardest to sign Cajuste.
Jens Cajuste once left Jürgen Klopp furious
Last season, Cajuste enjoyed his first taste of Champions League football.
The Swede faced a number of tricky opponents in the Group Stage, as FC Midtjylland were drawn against Liverpool, Ajax and Atalanta.
It was against the Reds where he left Jürgen Klopp furious.
Cajuste lunged in on Jordan Henderson, which resulted in the German losing his temper on the touchline.
You can see what The Athletic’s Liverpool correspondent James Pearce tweeted at the time of the incident below.
If Cajuste does arrive in the Premier League this summer, it’ll be interesting to see how he and Klopp interact!
