Liverpool lining up January bid for £21m fullback who plays just like Kyle Walker

Liverpool had a pretty quiet summer transfer window by all accounts.

Arne Slot made just two acquisitions in the form of Federico Chiesa and Giorg🦄i Mamardashvili, who has returned to Valencia on loan for the season.

Liverpool did try to sign Martin Zubimendi but that transfer failed to materialise after he decided to remain in the Baꦰsque region.

So evidently, Liverpool still have funds to s✤pend and they’re already plotting a move to sign a defender this Janaury trans💜fer window.

Liverpool lining up January bid for Michael Kayode

According to Italian outlet , Liverp🍸ool are considering a bid for Fiorentina fullbꦿack Michael Kayode.

Slot has placed Kayode on ⛄his transfer wish𝕴list, though, he isn’t the only Premier League manager who’s keen on the Italy under-21 international.

Tottenham Hotspur h❀ad a £17m bid rejected for Kayode during the summer and 𓄧Aston Villa were also circling at the time.

He’s hꦅardly played this season but Fio♔rentina still value the defender at .

Kayode likened to Kyle Walker

Earlier this year, analytics outlet likened Kayode to Manchester City’s jet-heeled right-back Kyle Walker.

“Most of the time, Kayode’s positioning is intelligent, 🍨but when he jumps out too quickly, he can get caught in behind.

“Luckily, his top recovery pace a♋nd aꦓthleticism give him an extra tool up his sleeve to stop counters, similar to City right-back Kyle Walker.”

The outlet also labelled Kayode as one of Europe’s ‘finest’ fullbacks, so evidently if Liverpool were to land his signature, it’d be a really 🅰promising acquisition with plenty of upside.

Perhaps his arrival would 𒊎also free up Alexander-Arnold to fully convert to a midfielder – which is where Slot has been playing him in possession.
