Liverpool are actively scouting top European prospects to bolster their squad ahead of the new season.
Reports suggest the Reds have reached an agreement to sign Bayer Leverkusen’s right wing-back Jeremie Frimpong, who is expected to fill the void left by the outgoing right-back.
They are also showing interest in Brighton forward Joao Pedro, viewed as a potential replacement for Darwin Nunez at Anfield this summer.
On the defensive front, Liverpool were strongly linked to Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen, but the young defender has since sealed a move to Real Madrid.
Liverpool eye Ajax’s Jorrel Hato as new defensive target
According to GiveMeSport via Fabrizio Romano, the Merseyside club have now shifted focus to Ajax’s Jorrel Hato.
Hato has already racked up over 100 appearances for Ajax and has six caps for the Netherlands, underlining his talent and maturity despite his young age.
Liverpool’s interest in Hato aligns with their ongoing search for defensive reinforcements after missing out on Huijsen.
His ability to play both center-back and left-back adds to his appeal, offering flexibility and depth to the squad.
With Jarrel Quansah’s future uncertain and continued fitness concerns surrounding Joe Gomez, Liverpool are expected to prioritize signing a young defender this summer.
