With Arne Slot completing his first week as Liverpool manager, he now has a clearer idea of the areas he wants to strengthen this summer.
One potential target has emerged, with Football Insider reporting that “Liverpool have joined Man City, Arsenal, and Tottenham in the race to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze.”
The report also notes that the Premier League star has a £60 million release clause in his contract, should any club try to secure a deal before the transfer window closes.
Currently part of the England squad with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez, the 26-year-old Eze is focused on the Euros, putting any potential transfers on hold until the tournament concludes.
Eze had an impressive season with Crystal Palace, scoring 11 goals and providing six assists in 31 appearances. As an attacking midfielder who can also play on either wing, his skills make him a valuable addition, explaining the interest from multiple clubs.
Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards likely have an extensive list of potential targets, but with global tournaments taking place, transfer activity has slowed.
However, with summer football nearly finished, Liverpool’s first new signing under Slot may soon be announced.
