Liverpool have joined Chelsea in the race to sign Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Kouadio Kone.
A report by Simon Phillips recently confirmed that Christopher Vivell had recommended Kone to Chelsea, a player he knows very well. The report claims that Chelsea are working through the January transfer window to bring in one or two midfielders, and it comes as no surprise that Jorginho and N’Golo Kante are out of contract at the end of the season.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Liverpool are also interested, with Bayern, Newcastle and PSG also informed of their situation.

Romano claims that a summer move is more likely than January for Kone after signing for Monchengladbach only in 2021.
Kone is already a regular for his team despite being only 21 years old. Todd Boehly’s recruiting strategy has been one of young, up-and-coming players, and Kone is a player who has the ability to fit directly into the team, as well as being a player as part of a long-term plan.
It is expected to be a competitive race to secure his signing, but clubs may have to wait a few months to sign the young French midfielder.
