Virals: Liverpool 'closely following' Sparta Prague starlet Adam Hlozek

Liverpool are reported to be ‘closely monitoring’ Sparta Prague starlet Adam Hlozek ahead of a potential summer swoop.

The 19-year-old has been extensively linked to West Ham previously and it was expected the London club would return in the near future.

However, the Reds could be set to step in and bring the talented Czech Republic international striker to Merseyside.

That’s according to a report from Jeunes Footeux, as cited on Twitter.

The report claims that the 12-cap ace has ‘caught the eye’ of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.

This season the teenager – described as a ‘huge talent’ – has scored eight times and provided a further 12 assists in 33 appearances across all competitions.

Valued at £17.1million and under contract in Prague until 2024 (Transfermarkt), signing Hlozek for the mooted €20million (£16.6million) fee would be superb business.

Capable of playing across the front three and as a second striker, the Czech teen would offer supreme versatility to Klopp’s ranks.

Already a fully-fledged senior international and with 129 club career appearances under his belt despite still being so young, this would appear to have all the hallmarks of a must-buy for the Reds.
