Newcastle United and Aston Villa are tipped to be the frontrunners for Liverpool centre-back Joe Gomez’s signature ahead of the summer transfer window.
The England international has fallen down the pecking order at Anfield with his run-in with injury issues and Ibrahima Konate’s arrival hampering regular first-team football for Gomez in the Liverpool shirt.
According to a report from The Athletic, it is claimed that the likes of Newcastle United and Aston Villa are leading the race to land the Charlton Athletic youth academy product in the coming summer.
Gomez started his first top flight outing this season in Sunday’s 3-1 win over the league’s new boys Norwich City with Jurgen Klopp drafting the defender in the right-back slot with his first-choice option in Trent Alexander-Arnold handed rest.
Uncertainty over Gomez’s future on Merseyside is expected to remain subject to much talk heading into the end of the current campaign with the player likely to take a call on his next playing destination should he leave the Reds.
