Arsenal have been named as one of the Premier League sides that will battle Liverpool for one of their summer targets.

Both Arsenal and Liverpool have been linked with several players in this transfer window.



After that, Milos Kerkez and Freddie Woodman were the last to be announced in what has been a busy summer for Arne Slot’s side.

More signings are expected in the coming days as Slot strengthens the team that won the Premier League title last season.

However, Liverpool’s remaining summer business will be significantly influenced by the players that will leave the club in the coming weeks.

Jarell Quansah’s expected exit will result in a new defender being signed.

Marc Guehi is on the club’s watch list, and the Crystal Palace defender is expected to join Liverpool this summer, as we exclusively revealed.

Another position that will be strengthened following an exit is the No.

Darwin Nunez is expected to leave for Napoli this summer, and the club is planning to sign a striker when he leaves.

Elsewhere, there is a huge chance that Federico Chiesa leaves.

Luis Diaz is also likely to leave as contract talks between him and Liverpool continue to stall.

As a result, Liverpool are likely to sign an extra attacker this summer.

One name that has been seriously linked with a move to Liverpool in the last couple of weeks is Belgian winger Malick Fofana.

L’Equipe recently confirmed the Reds’ interest in the Belgian winger.

While his contract runs until 2028, Lyon’s asking price ranges from €30 million to €50 million—a figure influenced by his €39.3 million valuation from CIES.

Fofana registered 11 goals and six assists last season, showing his goal-scoring as well as creating qualities?

It is anticipated that he will replace Chiesa.

However, the latest report from CaughtOffside has revealed that Liverpool have a fight on their hands to land the 20-year-old.

According to the report, “Both Liverpool and Arsenal are closely monitoring the 20-year-old Belgian winger as they plan summer reinforcements, sources close to the agent industry have informed CaughtOffside.

“Arsenal are also keeping a close eye on the Belgian talent as Mikel Arteta looks for attacking and creative additions.”

The report also named Tottenham and Chelsea as interested parties, but revealed that the player’s desire to join the Premier League puts Liverpool and Arsenal ahead in the race.

“While Tottenham and Chelsea have also expressed interest, Fofana’s openness to a Premier League move could give Liverpool and Arsenal an edge if they decide to step up their pursuit,” the report added.
