Liverpool are understood to be leading the widely-contested race to land teenage defensive talent Kerr Smith from Dundee United. according to reports from The Sun.
The 16-year-old defender has earned plaudits for his displays in Scotland’s top flight and has drawn comparisons to his compatriot and Liverpool’s ever-reliant man at the back in Andy Robertson.
Everton, Aston Villa and Manchester United are right in the mix for Smith’s signature but Liverpool are backed as the frontrunners to sign him with Jurgen Klopp keen on adding to his impressive pool of young talent.
The likes of Harvey Elliott and Curtis Jones have enjoyed breakthroughs on Merseyside under Klopp’s charge with the Liverpool boss known to be generous in giving valuable first-team action to youngsters within the Anfield fold.
Smith can slot in the heart of the backline and play right-back and could prove to be an exciting addition to the Liverpool ranks which already boasts of a star-studded defensive roster after Ibrahima Konate’s arrival from RB Leipzig this summer.
