Jurgen Klopp recently vowed to build a Liverpool team for "now and tomorrow" so it comes as little surprise to see his Reds linked with highly-rated Aston Villa starlet Carney Chukwuemeka.
Having added Luis Diaz to the ranks back in January, Liverpool moved swiftly to sign Darwin Nunez alongside talented teenagers Fabio Carvalho and Calvin Ramsey this summer. Though plans to also add a dynamic young midfielder in the current window have been shelved until next year, the Reds have recruited in the key areas earmarked for strengthening, while continuing to keep to Klopp's clear transfer strategy: planning for the future.
Liverpool's core group, which has inspired so much success in recent years, is on the wane and gradually breaking up (see Sadio Mane's move to Bayern Munich ), while Klopp himself even admitted "fresh blood" was required this summer in order to ensure a seamless transition into the club's next cycle. A next cycle which could indeed include Villa hotshot Chukwuemeka.
