Transfers

Liverpool linked with making a signing this summer that would leave Fulham fans gutted

Liverpool have been a thorn in many teams’ side in recent times in the transfer market.

The Reds have pinched some of RB Leipzig’s best players in the shapes of Dominik Szoboszlai, Ibrahima Konate and Naby Keita, while they took both Alisson Becker and Mohamed Salah from Roma.

Fulham are another team who have had some of their best talents cherry-picked by Liverpool in recent years.

Indeed, the Whites have lost both Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho to Liverpool in recent times, and now, another Craven Cottage academy graduate is being linked with Liverpool.

Matt O’Riley linked with Liverpool

Celtic’s Matt O’Riley is being linked with a move to Anfield.

The midfielder is coming off the back of an incredible season for the Scottish champions, and now, he could be on his way to the Premier League.

O’Riley is said to be a player the Merseyside club are keen on, and while this would be an exciting signing for Liverpool, it’s a move that would leave a sour taste in the mouths of many Fulham fans.

Matt O’Riley to Liverpool fans would leave Fulham fans feeling sick

O’Riley to Liverpool could be a great move, but it’s a move that would surely leave Fulham supporters feeling sick to their stomachs.

If O’Riley joins the Reds, that means that Liverpool could line up with a midfield of O’Riley, Elliott and Carvalho next season.

While that midfield trio probably won’t be first-choice for the Reds on a weekly basis next term, it’s a trio that, in another world, could’ve defined a golden age for Fulham.

Make no mistake about it, O’Riley, Elliott and Carvalho are all good enough to be key players for a team like Fulham, and if Fulham did line-up with a trio of homegrown talents like that working in midfield together, they’d have something truly special for Marco Silva to work with.

Ultimately, Fulham mishandled all three of these academy graduates, and now, it may be Liverpool who benefit from the Whites’ misfortune.
