Liverpool enter midfielder race
Tottenham have been linked with Morocco star Sofyan Amrabat. The Fiorentina ace has had an impressive World Cup so far and helped Morocco top Group F despite facing Belgium and Croatia.
Now, the 26-year-old midfielder has been linked with a move to the Premier League. Antonio Conte is reportedly one of the managers keen on signing the player, although Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool have now entered the race.
According to Corriere dello Sport, via Daily Express, the defensive midfielder is being considered by Liverpool ahead of the January transfer window. With his contract expiring in 2024, Fiorentina may consider selling in the winter window so Tottenham will need to act fast if they are to secure the signing.
