Liverpool are now trying to sign Amara Nallo from West Ham United, according to a report.

Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that Liverpool want to sign Amara Nallo from Premier League rivals West Ham United in the summer transfer window.

The Italian journalist has claimed that Liverpool are in talks with West Ham over a move for Nallo.

Romano has added that the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners plan to add Nallo to the club’s academy.

Nallo is just 16 years of age and plays as a centre-back.

Amara Nallo one for the future for Liverpool

Given that Amara Nallo is only 16 now, it is clear that Liverpool see the West Ham United central defender as a player for the future.

After all, the Merseyside club are planning to include the English teenager in the academy team for now.

Former West Ham United striker Carlton Cole rates Nallo highly.

It will be interesting to see if West Ham decide to let the teenager go and for how much.

West Ham have one of the best academy systems in England, and it would be a blow for the London club if they lose one of their best young players to a rival Premier League team.
