'Big...' - Journalist reacts to what he's now heard about Tchouameni and Liverpool

Journalist Pete O’Rourke has delivered a promising update regarding Liverpool ahead of the summer transfer window. 

The Reds have pulled off many impressive captures recently and Jurgen Klopp’s contract extension until 2026 was the latest in a long line of recent positives on and off the pitch at Anfield.

With three more major honours still up for grabs and a deal for Klopp already completed, all associated with Liverpool would be forgiven for not getting wrapped up in the hysteria of transfers just yet.

Amidst strong interest from elsewhere, Liverpool have suddenly emerged as the leading contenders for the 22-year-old Frenchman.

Speaking to GiveMeSport, O’Rourke suggested that such a capture would be indicative of the calibre of recruitment at Anfield.

“It would be another big statement signing from Liverpool if they’re able to sign Aurelien Tchouameni from Monaco, he’s a really top young player already playing in the France team as well.

“Lots of clubs have been linked to him, the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, all the top clubs across Europe. So, if Liverpool were able to sneak in there and lure him to Anfield, it would be a big signing for Jurgen Klopp.”

Very rarely do Liverpool go head to head with fellow European superpowers in a transfer tussle, more often than not seeking an alternative who transpires to be the better option – see the pursuit of Timo Werner only to land a 21-goal Diogo Jota.

But, in this instance, FSG should back Klopp and indeed Julian Ward to the hilt with everything required to make Tchouameni a Red
