Liverpool to continue to buy young with offer for French teenager

Niang made a large impact at Italian club Caen towards the finish of last season, scoring goals in five games after making his debut in April against Toulouse.

Liverpool have definitely had eye on the future when finalizing their most recent transfers & they appear set to continue this owner as they prepare to make an offer for M'Baye Niang.

It is believed that Tottenham have already put together a £7m package to tempt the Ligue one team, who may be reluctant to sell having already allowed fellow striker Youssef El-Arabi to discuss terms over a likely move to Serie A club Genoa.

These displays from the 16-year-old have resulted in some solid interest from the Premier League, with Manchester City & Tottenham among the clubs keeping tabs on any transfer activity.

However, this offer seems unlikely to deter Liverpool, who have made signing youth their priority ahead of this season.

Jordan Henderson has already arrived for £20m from Sunderland, while Eden Hazard remains a leading target from Lille.


Niang is of Senegalese descent & has already represented Germany at under-16 & under-17 level.

Principal owner John W Henry has already indicated that buying gifted youth is the way forward for Liverpool, as not only is their scope for further improvement, but there is also the likelihood of strong sell-on values.

However, the large dilemma is whether they would be best served to stay at Caen for at least more season to aid his development, as they is likely to profit from more first-team opportunities this way in the next 12 months.

Liverpool are 1/1 in the Premier League betting to break back in to the top this season & with players including Charlie Adam & Stewart Downing still largely expected to move to Anfield before the beginning of the campaign, this might show first rate value.
