First steps taken towards signing £57m wonderkid for Liverpool

Even though the transfer window is shut, the rumour mill is constantly turning.

Liverpool failed to add any new faces to their ranks during the winter transfer window despite their clear need for some fresh talent.

Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi were the most likely transfers for Liverpool to conclude but, in the end, Manchester City beat them to both.

Since then, due to Liverpool's poor form and the fact that they're now sixth in the Premier League table, it feels like a new player is being linked with the club every other day.

The Reds' midfield is arguably the last area of their team that needs strengthening but that seemingly hasn't stopped them from being linked with Richard Hughes now taking a step closer to confirming a move.

Lucas Bergvall is valued at around £57 million amid Liverpool's recent interest

Despite Liverpool's midfield being fairly stacked already, several Premier League mainstays are rumoured to be of interest to the Anfield outfit.

Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton are the ones who have been linked with a transfer the longest but, since both of the Englishman are incredibly important to their current teams, a deal won't come cheap.

That's why several other names such as Caleb Yirenki, Kees Smit and now Lucas Bergvall have been thrown into the ring.

And, ahead of the summer transfer window, it seems like Tottenham's asking price for Bergvall has been confirmed.

That is, if a report from Fotboll Direkt is to be believed.

The Swedish outlet start things off by saying that due to the recent interest shown in the midfielder by Chelsea and Liverpool, the 20 year olds price is 'sky-rocketing.'

Fotboll Direkt also add that 'big money is at stake' with Tottenham currently valuing him at around £57 million which is far cheaper than some of the prices they've been quoted for players such as Wharton, Eduardo Camavinga and Anderson.

Lucas Bergvall would be an impeccable signing for Liverpool

Even though Bergvall is injured at the moment, it's clear that he's an extremely talented player.

When he first joined Tottenham, the Sweden international was thrown into the deep end by Ange Postecoglou due to the sheer number of injuries their team suffered.

The wonderkid spent a decent chunk of the season playing out of position but he still managed to prove his worth.

As mentioned, Liverpool's midfield is the last thing that they should be focusing on but, if the 20-year-old is available for just £57 million, it would be an absolute steal.

That is, especially after all the recent rumours surrounding the futures of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai.
