Report: Liverpool could now hijack Arsenal move to sign 'elite' £60m star as preferred club…

Liverpool could now make a move to sign Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, despite the England international preferring a move to Arsenal, according to a report from The Independent.

Although Liverpool secured the signing of Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen earlier in the summer transfer window, we could see them bring in further additions in the final third. Darwin Nunez has been heavily linked with a departure, with reports claiming that Napoli have made an offer to sign him from the Reds.

After spending minimally last summer, Liverpool should be in a strong financial position to continue making a big splash in the current window. Milos Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong have also arrived through the door, but the Merseyside club don't appear to be stopping there, with links to a host of other players still circulating in the media.

Eberechi Eze

According to a report from The Independent, Liverpool could make a move to sign Crystal Palace star Eze during the summer transfer window after having a long-standing interest in the England international. Arsenal are currently working on a deal to secure his signature, aiming to structure a deal in the region of £60m.

It's believed that Eze's preferred destination this summer would be the Emirates Stadium, but the Reds could still look to hijack a potential deal with Arsenal. With Eze wanting to join the Gunners, it might not be an easy deal for Liverpool to complete if they do decide to firm up their interest.

The signing of Wirtz could be a concern for Eze, who has been described as "elite", if he's looking to play regular minutes, considering they like to operate in similar areas of the pitch. Both players are predominantly attacking midfielders who like to drift over to the left-hand side.
