Justin Setterfield/Getty Images Ifeanyi Ndukwe’s agent Georg Lederer has revealed that Liverpool are seeking a loan destination where the youngster can enjoy regular playing time while developing in a system that mirrors the Reds’ high-pressing approach. Lederer confirmed that talks are under way with both Danish and foreign clubs over Ndukwe, with Liverpool working together to decide where the youngster would fit in best.

He stressed that several factors are being weighed, with regular playing time the foremost priority, while Liverpool are also assessing the style of football played by potential destinations, with the preference being for Ndukwe to join a side whose high-pressing approach is similar to that of the Reds. “We’re also in talks with several foreign clubs, but right now we need to decide, in collaboration with Liverpool, where Ifeanyi will fit in best.

“First and foremost, it’s about Ifeanyi getting plenty of playing time, and Liverpool are also looking at the style of football the clubs play, as they want him to fit into a high-pressing defence, similar to what you see at Liverpool. It is suggested that Danish outfit Randers FC were among the clubs interested in Ndukwe, but those discussions have broken down as Liverpool are prioritising destinations where the youngster can secure more consistent playing time.
