Ligue 1 outfit Strasbourg and recently relegated Bundesliga club Nurnburg are both keen on Liverpool’s Premier League starlet Anderson Arroyo.

Liverpool are bracing themselves for enquiries for young defender Anderson Arroyo after the young defender made a superb start to the U20 World Cup, according to Goal.

Arroyo impressed at right-back as Colombia beat host nation Poland 2-0 on Thursday and there is an acceptance at Anfield that the 19-year-old needs to leave on loan in order to sample first-team football away from Merseyside.

The teenager, who joined Liverpool from Fortaleza, failed to make a single appearance during a forgettable spell in Belgium with KAA Gent last season.

According to Goal, Strasbourg want to bring Arroyo to France next season while Nurnburg are keen to give him a chance in the German second tier after the Bavarian outfit were recently relegated from the Bundesliga.

Anderson Arroyo and Carlos Teran of Colombia are seen after the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup group A match between Poland and Colombia at Lodz Stadium on May 23, 2019 in Lodz, Poland.

Arroyo is one of the most highly rated young players in Liverpool’s ranks but it seems that a first-team place under Jurgen Klopp is still some way away.

Klopp can already call upon Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip and fellow teenager Ki-Jana Hoever (below) while the Premier League runners-up have also been tipped to sign another big-name centre-back.
