Liverpool and Chelsea are keen on the Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Hugo Larsson.
The 20-year-old playmaker is highly rated in the Bundesliga and he has a bright future ahead of himself. According to Fussball News, the two English clubs will have to pay around €60 million in order to get the deal done.
The Bundesliga midfielder is unlikely to be sold for cheap and Frankfurt have already set their asking price for him. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool and Chelsea are willing to pay that kind of money for the player. The highly rated attacking midfielder has the technical attributes to develop into a top class player and he could develop into a reliable performer in the Premier League.
The opportunity to move to English football could be quite attractive for Larsson. In addition to that, Liverpool and Chelsea are among the biggest clubs in the world and the opportunity to play for them can be hard to turn down for most players.
Although the asking price seems quite steep for the midfielder, he has the potential to justify the investment in the coming seasons. Liverpool and Chelsea have the financial resources to get the deal across the line and it will be interesting to see where the playmaker ends up.
Liverpool and Chelsea could use Hugo Larsson
Liverpool need to add more quality and cutting edge in the final third and signing a playmaker like him would be a wise decision. He could be a long-term asset for the club and he will help open up opportunities for his teammates in the final third.
Similarly, Chelsea need more support in the attack as well. They have been overly dependent on Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson this season. Adding more quality and depth to the side should be one of their priorities heading into the summer transfer window.
It will be interesting to see which of the two clubs manage to get a deal done for the Bundesliga playmaker. Larsson needs to join a club where he will get ample game time and a clear pathway to the starting lineup.
