Liverpool attentive to situation of another midfielder even as they close in on Szoboszlai transfer

Liverpool are reportedly very attentive towards the situation of another midfield player even as they have the signing of Dominik Szoboszlai wrapped up.

This is according to a report from Fabrizio Romano who state that the Reds are now also looking at Southampton starlet Romeo Lavia in that area of the pitch, despite already investing in Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister.

Lavia has impressed hugely at the St Mary’s Stadium, standing out as one of the Saints’ only real positives last season as they ended up being relegated from the Premier League to the Championsip.

This surely means Southampton won’t be able to keep the Belgium international, who is too good to be playing in English football’s second tier.

Liverpool could well benefit from a third midfield signing this summer, with Jordan Henderson and Fabinho looking below-par for much of last season, while Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner all left as free agents this summer.

If LFC end the summer with Mac Allister, Szoboszlai and Lavia added to their squad, they’ll certainly feel they’re in better shape for next season and beyond.
