Liverpool ponder winter market move for Villarreal attacker Chukwueze

Liverpool are weighing up a winter market move for Villarreal attacker Samuel Chukwueze.

Foot Mercato says the 20-year-old has been attracting interest across Europe following his fine performances in La Liga, and it is thought that Villarreal would accept a bid of around £34m for the player.

Chukwueze first caught the eye when he helped Nigeria win the Under 17 World Cup in 2015, and since then he has progressed into an important first-team player for Villarreal.

French side Lyon are among those said to be monitoring Chukwueze, but according Liverpool are also considering making a move.

The Reds have already made one signing this month with the acquisition of Takumi Minamino from Red Bull Salzburg, and the addition of Chukwueze would provide yet another option to their fearsome attack.
