Liverpool are interested in signing Sunderland midfielder Enzo Le Fey.
The 26-year-old has impressed for Premier League side Sunderland and could be a useful signing for Liverpool.
They need more technical ability and creativity in midfield. The 26-year-old has proven he has the quality to score goals and solve defences, with his passing, vision and flair. Le Fay has five goals and five assists this season.
According to a report from SportsBoom, Liverpool will face competition from Aston Villa for his signature. The player’s transfer fee could be around £35 million, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool are prepared to make a move for him.
Sunderland will not want to lose the French playmaker too soon, but could come under pressure if Liverpool make a big offer. Players are also likely to be attracted to the idea of joining them. It would be a big step up for him and he would be playing for one of the biggest clubs in the country.
Le Fey is at the peak of his career and now is the perfect time to take on new challenges and join a bigger club. At Sunderland, he will have to fight for a place in the mid-table or just survive. Liverpool can fight for trophies. It would be reasonable to assume that the player would be tempted to move if Liverpool come forward with a concrete proposal in the summer.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa could also be an attractive destination. They are likely to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League and have an ambitious project underway.
