Liverpool have started courting Assan Ouedraogo

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing 17-year-old German midfielder Assan Ouedraogo and have started courting him.

A report from Calciomercato has claimed that Liverpool are keeping tabs on 17-year-old German midfielder Assan Ouedraogo and that they could look to make a move for him in the coming months.

The Schalke midfielder has been linked with a move away from the German club in recent weeks. Recent reports have linked the teenage sensation with several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Everton and Liverpool. And a move to Liverpool would be an exciting option for him.

The midfielder is highly rated across Europe, and he has a big future ahead of him. A move to the Premier League could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his tremendous potential.

Liverpool have done well to nurture talented young players in recent seasons, and they could help the German wonderkid fulfil his potential as well. Liverpool need to add more quality and depth to their central midfield, and Ouedraogo could develop into a key player for them in the coming seasons.

The 17-year-old could be available for a reasonable price, and Liverpool must look to secure his services before the price goes up. The talented young midfielder has been linked with other Premier League clubs as well. So, it will be interesting to see if Liverpool can beat the competition from their English rivals and sign the player.

Working under a manager like Jurgen Klopp could be ideal for the 17-year-old’s development. The German manager has helped a number of talented young players establish themselves as first-team stars throughout his managerial career, and he could get the best out of the 17-year-old as well.

Ouedraogo is already a key player for Schalke in the second division of German football. So, a move to the Premier League would be a significant step up. Although he might not be a regular starter for Liverpool immediately, he could be a useful option for them.
