Karim Adeyemi to Liverpool may only be a phonecall away.
That is according to Bild journalist Christian Falk.
The German has reported that a move to Liverpool very much appeals to the 19-year-old.
Falk added that a phonecall from Jurgen Klopp about moving to Anfield could well sway the in-demand sensation, who plays for Red Bull Salzburg.
Adeyemi is among the most exciting young players in European football right now and his next move will be a big one.
Here’s how some Liverpool fans are reacting to Falk’s report about a potential move to Anfield.
Versatile
If it happens, this is a blinding signing for Liverpool.
Adeyemi can play anywhere across the front three and you can see how Klopp might be attracted to such a versatile player.
And let’s not forget, the Reds and Michael Edwards need to start freshening up their attacking options.
By the start of next season, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah will all be 30 – Firmino already is.
As brilliant as those three have been, they cannot maintain this standard forever and Liverpool must keep an eye on their replacements.
At 19, Adeyemi is clearly a baller with a big future in the game.
And considering he can play in all of their positions, what a long-term replacement he could be for one of Salah, Mane or Firmino.
