Bailey reports: “The race for his signature is now intensifying, and we understand that a number of additional clubs have entered discussions over Mingueza, with intermediaries sounding out some of the Premier League’s elite. “Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have all been approached as part of those conversations, and there is some interest and intrigue on all sides.

Mingueza is 26 which is a good age for the Liverpool transfer policy and the lack of a transfer fee will appeal to the Reds. One of the major selling points surrounding Oscar Mingueza is his versatility.
