Liverpool will reportedly demand around £20 million to part ways with Ben Doak in the summer transfer window amid his links with Leeds United and West Ham United.
According to a report by Football Insider, Ben Doak has no future with Liverpool, and the Reds have set their asking price to part ways with the teenage sensation in the summer transfer window. The Premier League champions are ready to sell the 19-year-old for an offer of around £20 million. Leeds United and West Ham United are keen on securing the young winger’s services.
Ben Doak and his long wait for Liverpool breakthrough
Ben Doak is one of several promising young prospects who have had to bide their time after graduating from Liverpool’s youth division. A native of Dalry, the Scot spent most of his formative years in his homeland, passing through the academies at Dalry Rovers FC, Ayr United FC, and Celtic before joining Liverpool in July 2022.
While the 19-year-old has yet to establish a foothold in Liverpool’s first-team squad, his stock has remained high for several years. Doak spent the 2024/25 season with Middlesbrough and amassed three goals and seven assists in 24 EFL Championship outings.
However, an untimely thigh injury prematurely ended the youngster’s campaign, and he has undergone surgery. Meanwhile, Doak has no future with Liverpool, with the Merseyside outfit ready to cash in on him for around £20 million. The Scottish attacking prospect’s situation has piqued the attention of several Premier League clubs, with Leeds United and West Ham United among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
Move across the Premier League on the cards?
Leeds United’s interest in Ben Doak is understandable. The Whites are scouring the market for a wide attacker this summer, as Daniel Farke wants more options on the flanks heading into the 2025/26 season. Several candidates, including Nathan Tella, have emerged on Leeds United’s radar, with Doak also a viable target.
As for West Ham United, Mohammed Kudus has left a gaping hole in the offensive unit at the London Stadium since moving to Tottenham Hotspur. So, West Ham must sign a wide attacker this summer, with the versatile Doak emerging as a viable target. Liverpool’s asking price for the 19-year-old Scot makes him an appealing target for the two Premier League clubs.
However, it is unclear if Leeds United and West Ham United are ready to fork out £20 million to sign Doak in the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the Scottish international.
