      Aston Villa and Newcastle among SIX Premier League clubs chasing Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster on loan transfer

      by

      ASTON VILLA and Newcastle are reportedly among SIX Premier League clubs hoping to land Liverpool star Rhian Brewster.
      The 20-year-old impressed after temporarily moving to Swansea in January – helping the Welsh side reach the Championship play-off semi-finals.

      Goal claim Liverpool have been encouraged by the striker’s progress and believe a loan to a Premier League side would be the ideal next step.
      Aston Villa are thought to be among the England starlet’s options following failed big-money moves for Wesley and Mbwana Samatta.

      Newcastle, Burnley, Brighton and Crystal Palace have all contacted Liverpool over Brewster, as have newly-promoted Fulham.
      While SunSport previously Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder wants to take him to Bramall Lane to add fresh legs and threat to his forward line.

      However, the biggest threat to the loan switch is that Jurgen Klopp may opt to keep the England Under-21 ace and use him as cover for his attack.
      Brewster is currently with Liverpool’s squad at their pre-season training camp in Austria.
      The England U17 World Cup Winner will feature in the Reds’ behind-closed-doors friendly fixtures this month before Klopp makes a decision on his future.
      Brewster, for his part, recently lifted the lid on his plans for the future and admitted he’d rather stay at Anfield.

      He told The Beautiful Game podcast: “Ultimately, I want to be at Liverpool next season. I want to be fighting for a spot to play.
      “Who is not going to want to play at the home of the champions? I don’t really want to go on loan, but if that’s the best thing for me to do, to go away and get more game time, then that’s what I’m going to do.
      “Realistically, I want to play for Liverpool. I want to be the striker, you know? I’ll go to [the Reds’ pre-season training camp], work hard and then whatever the boss says to do, I will accept, whether that’s to stay or whether that’s to go back on loan.”

      Liverpool in Ismaila Sarr transfer race as Watford demand £40m fee for winger to not make loss after relegation

      by

      LIVERPOOL are chasing Ismaila Sarr – but Watford are determined to hold out for more than £40million for the winger, according to reports.
      The Hornets spent a club-record £30m on the Senegal international, 22, last summer to bring him in from Rennes.

      But with their combination of managers unable to keep them in the Premier League, some of the bigger names are expected to be sold.
      However, as revealed by SunSport, the Vicarage Road outfit are desperate not to make a loss on Sarr – and will instead try and get a record fee if they do sell.
      One Merseyside club, Everton, paid £40m for Richarlison in 2018.
      And across Stanley Park, Liverpool may have to top that to land Sarr this summer.

      The report adds that Crystal Palace and Wolves are both interested in him as well – the former scouting him at Rennes but likely to be priced out of a deal.
      According to the Evening Standard, Liverpool are the favourites to sign the man who wrecked their hopes of going the whole Premier League season unbeaten with his man-of-the-match performance in the 3-0 win in February.
      Sarr, who still has four years left on his Watford contract, is thought to be open to the idea of a move to one of the Premier League big boys, with Anfield his preferred destination.

      And it is understood contact has already been made by the English champions.

      There, although unlikely to be a regular starter, he would be able to reunite with Sadio Mane after the Senegal pair came through at the same academy.
      However, in order to finance a transfer, the Reds would need to raise some funds and could do so through the sales of Harry Wilson, Xherdan Shaqiri and Marko Grujic.

      Liverpool close in on £12m transfer deal for Olympiakos full-back Tsimikas as Leicester miss out

      by

      LIVERPOOL are closing in on the signing of Olympiakos left-back Kostas Tsimikas, according to reports.
      Leicester were linked to Tsimikas earlier this week as they search for a replacement for Chelsea target Ben Chilwell.

      Liverpool have reportedly beaten Leicester to the £12million signature of Olympiakos left-back Kostas Tsimikas
      However, it is believed Liverpool have won the race for the Greek defender and will make him their first signing of the summer in a £11.75million deal.
      The Reds have been seeking cover at left-back for Andy Robertson with midfielder James Milner often required to fill in when the Scotland captain is unavailable.
      The Premier League champions reportedly had a £10million bid rejected for Norwich City’s Jamal Lewis last week.
      The relegated Canaries want closer to £20million for the Northern Ireland international and Liverpool are thought to have turned their attention elsewhere as a result.

      Real Madrid’s Sergio Reguilon, who has spent this season on loan at Sevilla, was also thought to have been considered before the Reds seemingly agreed a deal for Tsimikas.
      The Greece international impressed against Wolves in the Europa League last-16 on Thursday and has seven assists in 46 appearances in all competitions this season.

      Goal reports the 24-year-old is expected to complete his Anfield medical early next week with an official announcement to be made soon after.
      The arrival of Tsimikas could signal the departure of 19-year-old left-back Yasser Larouci, who was linked with newly-promoted Leeds and Championship side Brentford last month.

      Liverpool have already seen Dejan Lovren and Adam Lallana depart the club this summer for Zenit Saint Petersburg and Brighton respectively.

      Chelsea transfer for Ben Chilwell edges closer as Leicester enquire about Olympiakos’ £12m left-back Kostas Tsimikas

      by

      CHELSEA have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Leicester left-back Ben Chilwell, according to reports.
      The Blues have long been linked with a move for the 23-year-old England international but the Foxes have so far appeared unwilling to do business.

      Leicester have enquired about Olympiakos left-back Kostas Tsimikas as they search for a replacement for Ben Chilwell
      However, Leicester may now have shown their hand in negotiations as they have enquired about Olympiakos full-back Kostas Tsimikas.
      The Greek international impressed against Wolves in the Europa League on Thursday night and has reportedly attracted interest from Chelsea and Everton in the past few weeks.
      Tsimikas is valued at around £12million by his club and the Daily Mail say Premier League champions Liverpool are also interested.
      The Reds had a £10million bid rejected for Norwich defender Jamal Lewis this week as they seek cover for first-choice left-back Andy Roberston.

      With the Canaries looking for a fee closer to £20million, Tsimikas may present Liverpool with a cheaper option.
      However the 24-year-old may see Leicester as a better option for first-team football.

      The Foxes will also have 34-year-old Christian Fuchs to call upon next season should Chilwell depart the Kingpower.
      Tsimikas registered seven assists in 46 appearances in all competitions in 2019-20.

      Olympiakos have lined up Saint-Etienne full-back Miguel Trauco as Tsimikas’ replacement.

      Liverpool ‘fail in £10m transfer bid for Jamal Lewis despite Norwich left-back desperate for move’

      by

      LIVERPOOL have failed with a £10million bid for Norwich left-back Jamal Lewis despite the player reportedly being desperate to leave.
      The Athletic reports Lewis is determined to swap relegated Norwich for Premier League winners Liverpool.

      But the Reds have failed with an initial £10m bid for the Canaries youngster.
      Norwich are believed to want DOUBLE that if they are to let the 22-year-old leave Carrow Road.
      Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is eager to add a left-back to his squad to provide cover for Andy Robertson.
      The German knows squad depth will be vital in the jam-packed 2020-21 season and wants more than just James Milner to deputise for the Scot when needed.

      But in order to bring him to Anfield he will have to up his bid to £20m to meet Norwich’s valuation.
      Lewis made 28 Premier League appearances this season and, despite Norwich finishing rock bottom on their return to the top-flight, impressed onlookers.

      The Northern Ireland international is willing to accept the likelihood of limited first-team minutes at Klopp’s side.
      But it is not thought to have dampened his spirits ahead of a potential dream move.

      Lewis has been at Norwich for seven years since arriving in the academy from Luton and has made 100 senior appearances for the club.

      Liverpool make contact with Watford star Ismaila Sarr over transfer – after he ended their Premier League unbeaten run

      by

      LIVERPOOL are reportedly among a trio of Premier League clubs who have made contact with Watford winger Ismaila Sarr.
      The 22-year-old impressed Jurgen Klopp after putting in a man-of-the-match performance during the Hornets’ 3-0 win over the Reds in February.

      The winger scored a quick-fire double before Troy Deeney notched to hand Liverpool their first league defeat of the season and end their hopes of emulating Arsenal’s Invincibles campaign.
      Despite Watford’s relegation on the final day, Sarr impressed for them as he bagged five goals and produced six assists in 28 top-flight matches
      According to the Watford Observer, Liverpool have made contact with the attacker’s agent as they look to test the club’s resolve.
      A switch to Anfield would see Sarr reunite with fellow Senegal international and friend Sadio Mane.

      The Liverpool ace famously urged Watford captain Deeney to look after the player after the two sides faced each other at Anfield in December.
      Wolves are also said to be interested in the former Rennes star, but would only make their move if Adama Traore is prized away from the club.

      Likewise, SunSport previously revealed that Crystal Palace want Sarr to fill the boots of Wilfried Zaha — if their talisman is sold this summer.
      The Eagles are keen on the Watford speedster and would smash their record fee for him with a £40million offer.

      Sarr was on Palace’s radar a year ago when Hornets splashed out £30m to bring him from the French league.

      Adam Lallana completes free transfer to Brighton on three-year deal after leaving Premier League champions Liverpool

      by

      ADAM LALLANA has joined Brighton on a free transfer after leaving Liverpool.
      The midfielder, 32, passed a medical and penned a three-year contract on Monday to complete a switch back to the south coast.

      Lallana spent six years at Anfield following his transfer from Southampton but was let go upon the end of the elongated 2019/20 season.
      He scored 22 goals in 178 matches for the Reds, playing a bit-part role in their recent trophy-winning success.
      In the last 14 months, Lallana won the Champions League, Super Cup, Club World Cup and, most recently, the Premier League.
      He managed 15 top-flight appearances this term as Jurgen Klopp’s side swept the rest of the division aside, ending up on 99 points.

      The 34-cap England international played at the 2014 World Cup and the Euros two years later.

      Adam is a really exciting signing for us. To have both his experience and quality out on the pitch will be a great addition for us.
      Graham Potter on Adam Lallana

      In total he has played more than 400 senior games, scoring 81 goals and making 70 assists.
      The playmaker will wear the No14 shirt at the Amex next season and will add plenty of quality and experience into the Brighton side.

      Head coach Graham Potter, whose Seagulls side finished 15th and seven points clear of relegation, said: “There is no doubting Adam’s quality, and if you look at his footballing CV his ability is clear for everyone to see.

      “He has played at the very highest level, for both club and country, and achieved great things. He has a wealth of experience alongside his technical quality.

      “The honours he won during his time at Liverpool, and the high regard in which he is held at Anfield, only further underline his ability and character.

      “Adam is a really exciting signing for us, someone I am sure the supporters will be really looking forward to seeing play as and when things are able to begin to return to normal.
      “To have both his experience and quality out on the pitch will be a great addition for us, and I know he will be an excellent role model for our younger players in the squad.
      “I am really looking forward to working with him when we return for pre-season training in a few weeks.”
