While their focus has been on improving their first team, Jurgen Klopp’s team are looking for young prospects for the future. And, according to Fabrizio Romano, they have their eyes set on 16-year-old Amara Nallo.
The Reds have been keeping a close eye on the teenager for a while now and are keen on having him in their academy. They have been in talks with West Ham United over a potential deal of late. Negotiations are ongoing between the two parties as Liverpool hope to get it over the line in the near future.
The Merseyside club failed to qualify for the Champions League as they were far from their best in the Premier League. The major reason for their poor outing was an inconsistent midfield. After the end of the season, the club decided against renewing the contract of three of their senior midfielders.
