Liverpool, Arsenal and Real Madrid look set to battle it out for 19 year old Hungarian Attila Szalai.

Who is Attila Szalai?

Currently at Turkish team Fenerbache, the centre-back has caught the eye across Europe after impressing at u21 level and is now in the first team for both club and country.

Szalai is a strong, tall and surprisingly quick centre-back that has lots of potential. 

With the likes of Joel Matip and Joe Gomez always plagued with injuries. Jurgen Klopp may be looking to bring a new, younger centre-back in at some point.

LFCTR Verdict

Getting someone like Szalai wouldn't do any harm to Liverpool. The defender is valued at £17m but with the potential he has it is probably worth a punt. 

It would probably be better to get him this Summer and loan him out to get more first team experience. 

Who better for Szalai to learn off that the best centre-back in the world, Virgil Van Dijk.
