With Liverpool’s summer transfer business having appeared complete for quite some time, it’s interesting to see which rumours continue to surface. There seems to be something of a theme uniting many of them, in that the Reds are said to be interested in young players who have burst onto the scene in the last couple of years.
Perhaps this was inevitable. When the oldest of the three signings a club made in a transfer window only turned 23 shortly after joining and the other two are teenagers, the trend appears clear.
Jude Bellingham will remain of interest to Liverpool for the foreseeable future, and the 19-year-old has been joined in the club’s rumour mill by Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo, who is the same age. Another player from their school year is Yeremy Pino, and it’s his turn to be connected with a move to Anfield.
