Liverpool stun Arsenal and Manchester City with £51m transfer hijack

Liverpool want to show ambition in the transfer window after being crowned Premier League champions with four games left in the season. The Merseyside giants are prepared to flex their transfer muscle and are now set to land a midfield wonderkid ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City.

The Merseyside giants are prepared to back Arne Slot in the summer after he delivered the Premier League title in his first season as Liverpool manager.

Last year, the club dominated the headlines for not delivering the defensive midfielder that the Dutchman wanted, and they are prepared to rectify that mistake this summer.

Liverpool are looking at several midfielders across Europe, and are now prepared to make a big-money move for a top young talent in the Bundesliga in the upcoming transfer window.

Can you name the team Liverpool signed these players from?

The Reds lay their eyes on a 20-year-old midfield wonderkid

Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Larsson is considered one of the brightest young midfielders in European football and is primed for a big move away from the German side.

Arsenal and Manchester City are interested in getting their hands on him, but it has been claimed Liverpool have also barged into the race to sign him.

The Merseyside giants have been keeping tabs on him closely, and are now ready to hijack a deal from under Arsenal and Manchester City’s noses this summer.

However, any deal to sign him would be expensive, as according to Sport Bild via Sport Witness, the German club want a fee of £51m if they are to sell him.

With Eintracht Frankfurt looking good to qualify for the Champions League, they are under no financial pressure to sell Larsson this summer.

Liverpool will have to dig deep into their pockets to snare the Swede away from the Bundesliga club in the upcoming summer transfer window.

FSG seem ready to bankroll the club this summer with major funds, and given Larsson’s talent, £51m could look cheap in a few years.
