Liverpool are reportedly keen on Villarreal ace Samuel Chukwueze.
According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool have joined the race to sign Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze at the end of the seaosn.
The Reds already have three exceptional attackers in Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane, but changes could be coming at the end of the season.
Daniel Sturridge is out of contract, Divock Origi will have just a year left on his deal, and Xherdan Shaqiri has barely featured since the turn of the year.
Another winger could arrive then, and the Daily Mail report that Liverpool are interested in bringing Villarreal star Chukwueze to Anfield this summer.
It’s stated that Liverpool and Manchester City have joined the race for the Nigerian wide man, who has been compared to Arjen Robben due to his blistering pace and great ability when cutting in from the right flank onto his left foot.
Chukwueze, 19, joined Villarreal from the Diamond Football Academy in his native Nigeria in 2017, and has been a sensation this term with 10 goals and two assists to his name.
Already a full international for his country, Chukwueze is unsurprisingly attracting major interest, though Villarreal may refer to the £54million release clause in his contract.
That would be a significant investment for Liverpool, but a young, speedy attacker with great versatility would be ideal behind the famed front three – and Chukwueze certainly fits the bill.
