Jaden Philogene of Aston Villa is well-liked by Liverpool, and the two parties have spoken, according to Anfield Watch.
Jurgen Klopp and the Liverpool recruiting staff like the 21-year-old, an Aston Villa academy graduate who has played for England at the youth level. However, the Reds may face competition from Newcastle, who have also spoken with the player’s family.
Pholigene, a winger, has played five times for Villa overall and has also spent time on loan with Stoke City in the 2021–2022 season and Cardiff City in the previous campaign.
Pholigene, who has impressed Unai Emery during preseason, would not be simple to sign. In addition to starting all three of the club’s exhibition games, he also scored the team’s goal against Fulham in Orlando.
Pholigene can play on either wing, and Klopp was drawn to him because of his versatility.
Finding worthy successors for the Reds legend Mohamed Salah is necessary, as he is currently 31 years old.
Prior to the new season, Liverpool signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai for a combined £95 million. Both players are already considered first-team starters, and additional midfield additions are anticipated this window.
The Reds have, however, also been looking for young players who can advance and mature under Klopp.
The move comes after the German manager requested Fifa to investigate the Saudi Arabian transfer window because the Pro League’s business is scheduled to end almost three weeks after that of Europe.
At a news conference in Singapore prior to Liverpool’s friendly match against Bayern Munich, Klopp declared that “the influence of Saudi Arabia is massive at the moment.”
The fact that Saudi Arabia’s transfer window is three weeks longer open is essentially the worst thing. At least in Europe, if I am correct about what I heard, that is not beneficial. That need solutions from either Uefa or Fifa. We already feel its influence, but we still have to adjust to it.
