Liverpool source drops huge transfer claim as Reds line up 'extraordinary' summer signing

Monaco are prepared to cash in on midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni, who is one of Liverpool‘s main summer transfer targets, according to a fresh update.

The Reds haven’t signed a massive number of players in recent years but those who have come in have generally made a huge impact, such as Thiago and Luis Diaz.

Tchouameni is being hotly tipped to move to Anfield this summer, having emerged as a hugely exciting prospect for Monaco and France.

The midfielder has caught the eye with his dominant all-round displays, averaging 2.9 interceptions, 2.5 tackles and 2.3 successful aerial duels per game and also scoring three Ligue 1 goals this season.

According to Football Insider, a requirement source has informed them that Tchouameni is one of Liverpool’s main transfer targets in the summer window, with the Reds having registered their interest in the 22-year-old.

Monaco are ‘ready to cash in’ at the end of the season, with a fee of ‘over £50million’ enough to prise him away from the Stade Louis II.

It really does look as though Liverpool are pushing hard to sign the 22-year-old, with Jurgen Klopp clearly seeing midfield as an area where reinforcements are required.

Fulham youngster Fabio Carvalho is already coming in and, if the Reds can land him from Monaco, Tchouameni could prove to be one of the most exciting pieces of business in years, adding an extra dimension in the middle of the park.

He has been hailed as ‘extraordinary’ by France team-mate Paul Pogba, and as the aforementioned statistics suggest, he seems to possess the technical brilliance and brute physical strength to take the Premier League by storm.
