Liverpool Sets Sights on Arne Slot’s Ideal No.10

Strategists Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards are consistently looking towards the future, showing keen interest in acquiring a talented player who piqued their interest last summer.

This player is none other than Bilal El Khannouss, a promising talent who has remained on Liverpool’s radar and could soon see the club willing to invest significantly to bring him on board.

Liverpool has been diligently tracking the progress of this Moroccan international since he first made waves as a standout young player in Belgium’s leagues.

Having played at Anderlecht before moving to Genk, he has greatly benefited from Belgium’s renowned player development system prior to his transition to the Premier League.

While at Genk, Liverpool had shown considerable interest in El Khannouss, whose potential was evident, but they hesitated at the £21 million transfer fee.

At that time, club officials deemed investing that much in a player from the Jupiler Pro League too risky.

Consequently, El Khannouss ended up signing with Leicester City, who were more willing to take a chance on him.

Now, however, Edwards’ previous frustrations in attempting to delve into the South American market may soon be alleviated.

With complete control at Anfield, Liverpool has ramped up their efforts to strengthen their squad by tapping into this lucrative region.

The club’s pursuit of Franco Mastantuono serves as a testament to this shift. Reports indicate that Liverpool is prepared to make a record-breaking offer for the 17-year-old, aiming to outbid several top clubs in the process.

Teenage Talent Set to Depart Liverpool Academy

Younger players in the Liverpool academy are consistently stepping up to showcase their extraordinary talent, often surpassing age expectations.
