Liverpool are reportedly ahead of Arsenal in the race for Brentford right-back Michael Kayode, EyeFootball reports. The Reds have been monitoring the 26-year-old and have identified him as a top target to strengthen their right-back options.
KEY CONTEXT
Kayode has been a key player for Brentford over the past 18 months and is a former Fiorentina player. According to the report, he is currently committed to the Bees but has ambitions to play Champions League football during the prime of his career.
Brentford are said to be reluctant to accept mid‑season offers and are unlikely to entertain a January sale. The club may be open to a departure at the end of the campaign, but reports claim any move would require a fee of at least £51m.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
EyeFootball says Liverpool could make a formal approach in January or next summer. No official bids or agreements have been reported.
