Liverpool join Arsenal in race for Romeo Lavia

Liverpool are ready to challenge Arsenal in the pursuit of Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia this summer.

The Belgian had an impressive debut season in the Premier League but is expected to leave Southampton following their relegation.

Valued at £50 million, the Reds could compete with the Gunners for the 19-year-old’s signature. While Arsenal has held talks with Lavia’s agent, no formal bid has been made as they focus on other transfers.

The North Londoners’ interest in Lavia may depend on the future of midfielder Thomas Partey, who is attracting attention from Saudi clubs and Juventus.

Liverpool’s entrance into the race adds a new dimension, as they have a reputation for nurturing young talent. With their success and attractive style of play, they could be a strong contender for Lavia’s services. As negotiations unfold, it will be intriguing to see which club ultimately secures the promising midfielder’s signature.
