Celtic, Swansea City and Aston Villa are among the leading candidates with bookmakers to sign the Liverpool youngster on loan.

Bookmakers Ladbrokes have made Swansea City the surprise 7/4 favourites to sign Dominic Solanke on loan from Liverpool in January.

The young Englishman has struggled for game time at Anfield and it would be no surprise if he moved on in pursuit of the regular first-team football his talent deserves. However the Swans will not be alone in pursuing Solanke if he is made available at the turn of the year.

While the Swans are current favourites, Celtic are priced at 2/1 to bring the 20-year-old to Scotland, where Bhoys boss Brendan Rodgers could potentially get the best out of him.

Perhaps most interestingly Championship club Aston Villa are 3/1 third favourites, just days after their manager Steve Bruce suggested that Solanke was wasted on the bench at Liverpool.

In an interview published by the Birmingham Mail, the Villa boss name-checked Solanke when speaking about young English talent not getting a chance and, given the Villans current injury woes, a move for the former Chelsea man could be ideal for all concerned.

At Celtic, Solanke may struggle for game time with Moussa Dembele and Leigh Griffiths already keeping loanee Odsonne Edouard out of contention, meaning that Swansea could have a straight fight with Villa for the Liverpool man.
