There have been plenty of news and rumours flying around about Liverpool today. We’ve rounded everything up for you.
Speculative £40 million reports
We’re still some time away from the January transfer window opening but already rumour season has started.
The Mail Online reported that “Liverpool are preparing a summer bid for Leeds midfielder Archie Gray.”
Despite being just 17 years old, he is reportedly valued at between £40 million and £50m by Leeds – a price the reporter, Matt Hughes, says Liverpool could pay.
Contrary to the article, This Is Anfield currently understands there is no substance to the rumour.
Gray is promising central midfielder who has also started games in defensive midfield before. He is the son of Andy Gray (not the ex-Everton striker) and grandson of great nephew of the Leeds legend, Eddie Gray.
