This week is a busy one as Liverpool prepare to host LASK then Fulham at Anfield, with plenty of news breaking in the build-up.
A new pair linked
Jean-Clair Todibo is a name you may have heard mentioned before should you keep up with the transfer merry-go-round; Adam Wharton probably isn’t a familar name, though.
Both have been linked with Liverpool but play different positions.
Nizaar Kinsella wrote for the Standard: “Spurs are desperate for defensive reinforcements and are ready to rival Manchester United and Liverpool for France international Todibo.”
The journalist added that the 23-year-old centre-back “is said to be available for around £39 million.”
Meanwhile, less reliable source 90min reported that Liverpool are “long-term admirers” of Wharton, a 19-year-old midfielder with just 39 Blackburn appearances under his belt.
At the moment, Man United, Tottenham, Brighton, Everton and Newcastle are also reportedly watching. File these two rumours as ‘ones to keep an eye on’.
