Both Liverpool and Wolves are gearing up for a swap deal involving Harvey Elliot and Rayan Ait-Nouri.
Liverpool Eye Wolves Star as Robertson’s Successor
Arne Slot’s arrival at Liverpool has already paid off in style. The manager has won them the Premier League title in his debut season. But with Trent Alexander-Arnold set to leave and Andy Robertson struggling for form, the Reds are looking at other options.
As per The Telegraph, one name high on their list is Wolves’ dynamic left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri. He is valued at £50 million. The 23-year-old Algerian is getting attention from both the Reds and Manchester City at the moment. Slot sees Ait-Nouri being a great fit for his high-pressing style of play. The head coach has a perfect alternative to compete for the left-back position or to replace Robertson.
The full-back’s pace, energy and attacking mind-set will be great for the current PL champion’s back line. He might prove to be key to their defence if they are to successfully defend their title.
Elliott in Line for a PL Switch in Possible Swap Deal
Harvey Elliott’s time at Anfield has now begun to stall. While he certainly looked promising early in his Reds career, 22-year-old player has not started regularly enough. Now, he is now at a crossroads in career.
Wolves are set to break their transfer record with a £45 million move for him. He will likely offer a much needed creativity for Vitor Pereira’s side.
The Merseyside club is also keen on Ait-Nouri. The idea of a player-plus-cash swap deal makes sense. This move will benefit both clubs. Liverpool get a great defensive boost and Wolves get a creative player with the potential to rise with regular playing time.
As far as summer transfers go, this could be the talked-about deal of the summer.
