Liverpool love £100m Premier League midfielder says expert

Having signed Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai already this summer, Liverpool are in the market for a third midfielder, and there is one star in the Premier League that the Reds love but his price tag is a problem.

Having captured two players Jurgen Klopp wanted, the Merseyside club’s attention will now turn to a modern defensive midfielder. Brighton’s Moises Caicedo is a star that could fill that role but the player’s price tag is too much for Liverpool.

Chelsea are pushing for Caicedo at present states Jacobs and they are the only club in the race for the midfielder – but the transfer journalist says that there could still be a twist.

It is unlikely that Liverpool will be a team that joins due to Caicedo’s price tag but the 21-year-old is a player the Reds love.
