Wolves youngster Alvin Ayman is nearing a move to Liverpool, marking their first signing since the summer transfer window opened.
According to the Daily Mail, Ayman, who can play as a centre-back or midfielder, is close to joining Liverpool.
At 16, Ayman experienced his first Premier League matchday last month, traveling with the Wolves first team for their away game against Manchester City.
He joined Wolves last summer from Bradford City’s youth system and played for both the U18 and U21 squads last season.
Ayman played a crucial role in Wolves’ U18 Premier League North win over Liverpool, which may have caught the Reds’ attention and led to their interest in signing him.
He is expected to develop his skills at Liverpool’s academy before potentially moving up to the senior squad.
Ayman represented Wolves’ under-17 team in South Korea at the first International Youth Cup of the K League and gained international recognition with England, being selected as a reserve for the under-17 squad last season.
Liverpool’s interest in Ayman reflects their strategy of investing in young talent, not just established first-team players.
The club has a history of promoting young players to the senior team, and this potential signing aligns with their plan to recruit top talent at all levels.
Liverpool hopes that Ayman can transition to the senior team in a few years.
