Matt O’Riley to Liverpool is a talking point at the moment, with Arsenal and Manchester United reportedly interested too.

According to ESPN, as covered by HITC Sport, the Premier League trio are all keen on the Celtic 21-year-old.

Liverpool are officially in the market for a midfield player after Jurgen Klopp admitted on Friday that his squad desperately needs one.

And it’ll be interesting to see if Klopp, along with Mikel Arteta and Erik ten Hag of Arsenal and Manchester United, were watching the player on Sunday.

Just like Liverpool on Saturday, Celtic enjoyed a 9-0 victory in the Scottish Premiership.

Ange Postecoglou’s troops hammered Dundee United and O’Riley impressed, grabbing two assists in the rout.

According to WhoScored, the Denmark Under-21 player also clocked a pass success rate of 83 percent, and had four shots.

Matt O’Riley to Liverpool?

Honestly, it’s possible.

There’s speculation about the Reds signing much more proflific midfielders, like Frenkie de Jong and Ruben Neves to name but a few.

But remember, many of this whole Liverpool squad are youngsters and with O’Riley being only 21, well he certainly fits the profile of what the Anfield outfit have been signing.

Klopp probably has more chance than Arsenal and Manchester United, with the latter having signed Casemiro last week, while the Gunners are focused on a winger if anyone comes into North London this summer.

O’Riley to Liverpool is far from guaranteed, but it’s plausible and no doubt his profile is a little higher now as a result of Sunday’s demolition.
