Liverpool continue to eye a summer move for Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche, and they could reportedly become favourites to snap him up. Speaking to Football Insider, journalist Pete O’Rourke said Liverpool will be favourites to sign Akliouche if it becomes a straight shootout with Tottenham for his signature: “Maghnes Akliouche is obviously a player who’s been on Tottenham’s radar for a long time.

Liverpool are in the mix now for Akliouche as well as a replacement for Mohamed Salah, so that would make things more difficult for Tottenham as well. “Liverpool would be the favourites in that one if it came down to it because of what they will likely be able to offer the winger.

Monaco are well aware of the growing interest in him and probably would sell at the right price.” Can Maghnes Akliouche light up Liverpool as Mo Salah’s successor? Akliouche stands out as a high-level option for Liverpool this summer, with the 24-year-old a footballer of immense talent, with scout Jacek Kulig calling him a “joy to watch” in the past.
