Liverpool ready to strike late wonderkid transfer

Liverpool have left it late but they could now strike a last-minute transfer for a wonderkid. Can they get it over the line?

Liverpool are always looking at the brightest talents in English football. They've got a few themselves, actually, with Rio Ngumoha arguably the shining light after his move from Chelsea in the summer.

There's Ben Doak playing down in the Championship with Middlesbrough, too. He arrived from Celtic not too long ago.

Trey Nyoni is another bright prospect signed from the English game. He's now on the brink of the first-team having previously been a brilliant talent at Leeds United.

Not that Liverpool don't have their truly homegrown talents - Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones sit in the first-team setup, with Jayden Danns on his way - but they'll always want the brightest from these parts. Harvey Elliott is arguably the best example of that working out.

And they may have found another, if reports are to be believed.

Liverpool target Ryan Oné

Rousing The Kop reports that Liverpool are looking into signing Sheffield United talent Ryan Oné. Oné has broken through with the Blades this season, drawing interest from all over Europe.

But Liverpool have apparently been keeping tabs on Oné for the last few years, having tracked him at Hamilton Academical before his move to Sheffield. They've now asked to be kept in the loop with any offers this month.

And those offers could arrive. The interest in Oné is such that the Blades have not ruled out a transfer before the window closes.

Liverpool, then, are keeping the door open for a late transfer here. While we find it hard to believe they'd throw Oné into the first-team squad already, it's possible we could yet see a signing.
