Red Star Belgrade attacking midfielder Andrija Maksimovic has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with several top clubs keen.
Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool are reportedly keen on securing the signature of Andrija Maksimovic. According to TBR Football, the Serb has been compared to Lionel Messi, and he is regarded as an elite young talent.
The 17-year-old could develop into a top-class player with the right guidance, and he could be an asset for the three English clubs. Chelsea have a proven track record of nurturing young players, and they have made it their priority to bring him the best young talents around the world since the change of ownership.
Chelsea have signed several young players in recent months. It seems that they are looking to add to the pool of young talent already at the club. The 17-year-old midfielder could be a solid long-term investment. He will add goals and creativity in the final third. Maksimovic is an attacking midfielder who is also capable of slotting into the wide areas.
Tottenham and Liverpool keen on Maksimovic
Tottenham could certainly use more depth in that position. James Maddison has been quite inconsistent, and the England international needs more competition for places. The 17-year-old could be an understudy to Maddison for now, and he could then replace him in the starting lineup in the near future.
The record-break Serb, who became his country’s youngest player, has established himself as an important player for Red Star Belgrade and the national team. There is no doubt that he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League as well.
As for Liverpool, they are looking for more quality in the midfield as well. The 17-year-old would be an asset for the club if they can groom him properly. They have a proven track record when comes to developing young players, and Maksimovic will feel that he can fulfil his potential potential with them.
Furthermore, joining top clubs in the Premier League will allow him to challenge for trophies. It would help him compete at a high level, and that could accelerate his development. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
