Liverpool have stepped up their interest in the services of Motherwell midfield sensation Lennon Miller amidst interest from Newcastle United.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, Liverpool are keen on acquiring the services of Lennon Miller and they are intensifying their efforts to bring him to Anfield. While multiple English clubs including Newcastle United are pushing for his signature, the Reds are pushing hard to ensure they win the race.
Miller has come up the ranks at Motherwell FC. He got promoted to their first team in the summer of 2023 and has only gone from strength to strength since. Despite being just 18, the versatile midfielder has established himself as a key figure in the Scottish clubs’ first-team and multiple top clubs have taken note of his performances.
He is considered to be one of the best young talents in the country and clubs in England are plotting a raid on Motherwell to prise him away. While his contract at the Scottish club runs until the summer of 2026, he could soon make the move to a much bigger club.
Liverpool are pushing hard to sign Miller
Liverpool are the one who are keen on adding him to their squad. While it has been a sensational start to life at the Merseyside club for Arne Slot, he is looking to build a team for the long run to ensure he can maintain success.
They are looking at Miller as someone who can help add depth to their squad and eventually become one of the stars of their midfield. He can feature in any role in the centre of the park and can even start out wide on the flanks.
He could be a great acquisition for the Reds and they are looking to put forward an offer worth €10 million. It will be a massive fee for Motherwell which could significantly boost their financial situation. As a result, they are unlikely to turn down that big an offer.
Multiple English clubs could rival Liverpool
Liverpool have been scouting the teenager for some time now and their scouts have given glowing reviews of the youngster. While they are all set to intensify their efforts, the Reds could face significant competition from other clubs in England.
Newcastle are one of the clubs that have been monitoring him. The Magpies are constantly on the lookout for players who can help them in the long run and they feel Miller could be an ideal fit for their project. Eddie Howe’s team can surely rival Liverpool for his signature.
Apart from the Tyneside club, Brighton and Southampton are also scouting the Scottish youth international and they could be ideal for him to continue his development with regular first-team action.
