Liverpool have been keeping close tabs on Fenerbahce defender Archie Brown, according to reports.
TEAMtalk claim that the Reds are ‘poised to ramp up’ their interest in the former England youth international, who is among the players under consideration to strengthen their left-hand side of defence.
Kosta Tsimikas is set to leave when his contract expires at the end of the season, and with Milos Kerkez struggling to fulfil his potential, more competition for the Hungarian will be required.
Brown caught the eye when facing Andoni Iraola’s side on Wednesday night. The 24-year-old scored and provided an assist as Fenerbahce secured a surprise 3-2 win.
That performance won’t have gone unnoticed in Liverpool’s recruitment department.
Brown does have other suitors
It is believed that Chelsea, Manchester United, Newcastle, Everton and Brighton are all admirers of the fullback, in addition to the Reds.
Brown would reportedly consider a return to English football. He left Derby County for Swiss side Lausanne-Sport in the summer of 2021, and he has had subsequent spells in Belgium and Turkey.

Are Liverpool looking at other left-backs?
There have been rumours about Brentford’s El-Hadji Malick Diouf in recent days, but it would be a surprise if an approach was made for the Senegalese international, with the player struggling to get into the Bees’ starting lineup, having left West Ham last summer.
Barcelona’s Alejandro Balde is another potential target, although there is an expectation that the Spaniard will leave the Camp Nou during the January transfer window. The Reds are more likely to add reinforcements at left-back at the end of the season.
