Liverpool are interested in signing American international Malik Tillman at the end of the season.
The 23-year-old has enjoyed a good run in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen and could be a great signing for the Reds. They could use more creativity and goals from the middle of the park, and the 23-year-old could be the ideal player.
Tillman has previously revealed he wants to play for Arsenal.

Liverpool preparing to sign Malik Tillman
Liverpool are poised to make a formal offer to sign the American international in the summer. According to Sports Boom, they could offer £60 million to finalize the deal. It remains to be seen whether the German side is ready to allow him to step down. They paid £30m for the midfielder, but a sale to Liverpool could double their investment.
The 23-year-old may be excited about a potential move to the Premier League. Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the opportunity to join them would be difficult for a young midfielder to turn down. Playing regular football in England will help him develop further and reach his potential. The player has scored seven goals from midfield this season and has the technical qualities to succeed in the Premier League.
Liverpool have other priorities than Tillman.
Meanwhile, Liverpool need to improve multiple areas of their squad and it remains to be seen whether they are ready to move forward with a £60m deal for the US international. Signing a defensive midfielder instead should be their top priority. They looked very vulnerable at the back, but a reliable defensive midfielder would help make up for their big weakness.
Tillman is a talented player with an exciting future, but Liverpool also have players like Florian Wirtz and Alexis Mac Allister who can score goals and create chances from central areas. Meanwhile, Chelsea wanted to sign Tillman last year.
