Liverpool have reportedly joined the race to sign Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze.
The 23-year-old La Liga winger has done well for the Spanish club and his performances have caught the eye of the Premier League giants.
According to a Transfers report, Liverpool could make a play for the talented winger whose contract with Villarreal expires in 2024. If he declines to sign an extension with the Spanish club, they could look to sell him for a nominal price at the end of 2024. season.
Liverpool currently lack depth on the right side of their attack and Chukwueze could be a quality backup option for Mohamed Salah. In the Egyptian’s absence, Jurgen Klopp has had to use the likes of Harvey Eliott on the right flank and Chukwueze would be a more natural replacement.
The 23-year-old will add pace and flair to Liverpool’s attack, but whether he is interested in joining the Premier League club without the security of regular first-team football remains to be seen. He is unlikely to get regular playing time before Salah and will have to be content with the team player role.
