Liverpool want Yunus Musah but the Reds are being warned against a move for the Valencia midfielder, who is also wanted by Arsenal.

Liverpool are being heavily linked with a couple of midfielders who have excelled at the World Cup in Qatar.

Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham has been on the radar for a while now but Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat is a fairly new target.

Then there is Yunus Musah, who showed some potential in the United States side over in Qatar.

The Valencia star formed an impressive midfield with Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie and could now land himself a big move.

90Min claim that Liverpool and Chelsea have both made contact to try and sign Musah in 2023.

FC Inter News report that Arsenal have already made an offer to try and re-sign Musah after he chose to leave the Gunners for Valencia, but the La Liga side have rejected the bid.

Liverpool warned about Yunus Musah deal

Musah has shown potential in Spain and has displayed his ability to play out wide or as a box-to-box midfielder.

The 20-year-old clearly has huge potential but Liverpool are being warned about a deal.

Former Liverpool defender Steve Nicol has told ESPN that he just doesn’t think Musah is ready to make a real impact in Liverpool’s midfield ranks.

Nicol suggested that Musah did well at the World Cup in terms of his off-ball work, showing the ability to get stuck in and work hard for the team.

Nicol added that Liverpool midfielders – think Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and even the now-departed Gini Wjinaldum – were all good at that side of the game under Jurgen Klopp.

However, the Scot noted that Musah just isn’t close to being Liverpool quality just yet even he could grow into a star.

“Not yet,” said Nicol. “I mean he has had a good World Cup as far as the dirty side of the game, the running, the challenging, the winning the ball back. You could argue that Liverpool’s best team, they had three guys in the middle of the park that were really good at that. But no, I don’t think he’s close to Liverpool yet,” he added.
