Liverpool are reportedly keeping a very close watch on Samuel Chukwueze following the Villarreal winger’s breakthrough campaign last season.
The 20-year-old enjoyed an outstanding breakthrough campaign last season, where his form brought him to the attention of some of European football giants and also saw him make his international debut for Nigeria.
The likes of Arsenal, PSG and Real Madrid have all been mentioned as possible suitors, but according to Goal, it is Liverpool who are most watching the youngster closely.
As per the report, scouts from the European champions have been regular visitors to the Estadio de la Cerámica and it’s believed Liverpool could make a move as early as January for a player already thought to be high up on Jurgen Klopp’s wish-list.
Liverpool already have Senegalese star Sadio Mane and Egyptian king Mohamed Salah on their books and the capture of Chukwueze could give them an all-out African attack.
The Nigerian is currently rated in the €40 million bracket, but with his value likely to soar, Liverpool know they may have to strike sooner rather than later or run the risk of seeing his price rise dramatically.
Liverpool are also said to be keen on €15 million-rated Trabzonspor keeper Ugurcan Cakir.
And having watched him in action over the weekend, it’s now reported in Turkey that the Reds are plotting a January approach for his services.
