Liverpool are in a five-way contest for Aston Villa talent Carney Chukwuemeka who is linked with a move away from Villa Park this summer.
According to a report from TalkSport, it is claimed that Jurgen Klopp’s Reds are right in the mix for the 18-year-old midfield starlet Chukwuemeka following his refusal to pen extended terms with Villa.
There is speculation gaining ground that Steven Gerrard, who took charge at Villa midway through the last season, could be in line to lose out on his exciting midfielder who is wanted by some of the biggest clubs across the continent.
Barcelona, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are the clubs providing competition to Liverpool with Chukwuemeka out of contract next summer upon which he will head into free agency much to his delight suitors.
Jurgen Klopp is rumoured to be in the market for a new midfield signing and with the talk of re-signing Gini Wijnaldum quashed by Fabrizio Romano, Chukwuemeka is a name that sure would be on the radar of the Liverpool boss.
