Rumour Mill: Liverpool want Arsenal’s out of contract forward

Reports on Monday claim Liverpool are interested in making a surprise bid to bring Arsenal starlet Chuba Akpom to Anfield.

The Daily Star , admittedly not always the most believable source for transfer news, claim the 19-year-old is stalling on a new deal at the Emirates, and the Reds are ready to pounce.

Liverpool are not the only club reportedly interested in signing the talented attacking star, with Manchester City, Everton and Tottenham also keen on acquiring his signature.

Akpom came on as a second-half substitute in Arsenal’s 3-2 FA Cup win over Brighton on Sunday, and displayed some of the pace and trickery that has seen him tipped to become a future star.

He currently represents England at Under-20 level, and he has scored three goals in five appearances. Prior to that he also starred for the Under-16s, 17s and 19s.

Akpom’s current contract expires this summer, and it would seem baffling for Arsene Wenger to let him leave, especially to a rival club.
