Liverpool are making a big push to try and secure the signing of Lyon central midfielder Houssem Aouar, according to Le 10 Sport.

The French outlet claims that Jurgen Klopp is a huge admirer of the 20-year-old, who has been in phenomenal form for Bruno Genesio’s side this season.

While the Frenchman isn’t as highly touted as teammates Tanguy Ndombele and Nabil Fekir, but he is very much thought to be on the Reds chief’s radar.

However, with the aforementioned duo likely to be sold this summer, Lyon will not consider parting with Aouar unless they receive a monster offer for him.

OPINION

This is a very interesting potential deal for Liverpool. Aouar has burst onto the scene in recent times as part of this hugely talented, young Lyon team. He is actually one of the more unheralded elements of Genesio’s side, but also one of the most crucial. He is the lynchpin in the middle of the park, while possessing the versatility to operate on the left hand side as well. He is a massive talent and, at just 20 years of age, he’s only going to get better in the years to come. He’s a creative midfielder, too, which is what the Reds have been crying out for this season. Aouar has bagged seven goals and eight assists this campaign, a very solid total for such a young player. He’s certainly one for the future, but he’s shown in Ligue 1 and the Champions League that he is good enough to compete at the top level right away. Obviously signing him would be difficult for the reasons listed above, but if Klopp is as keen on him as this report suggests then surely there’s a decent chance of the player ending up at Anfield.
