Arsenal and Liverpool are keen on signing the Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Rayan Ait-Nouri.
The two clubs are looking to improve their defensive unit by signing the 22-year-old left-back. They could submit a proposal for him at the end of the season as per Football Insider.
Wolves are unwilling to let the player leave this month and therefore Arsenal and Liverpool are laying the groundwork for a potential summer move.
The Algerian defender has established himself as an important player for Wolves and his performances in the Premier League have been rather impressive. It is no surprise that Arsenal and Liverpool are keen on signing him.
Arsenal need to add more depth to the left back department and Ait-Nouri could compete with Oleksandr Zinchenko for the starting spot.
As far as Liverpool are concerned, they will need a quality alternative to Andrew Robertson and the 22-year-old defender could be the ideal, long-term replacement for the Scottish international.
Although Arsenal Liverpool have players like Nuno Tavares and Kostas Tsimikas, they are not key performers for their respective clubs. Tavares does not have a future at Arsenal and he is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest.
Tsimikas has been a useful player for Liverpool but he’s quite inconsistent. Liverpool must look to bring in a more reliable defender.
The Algerian defender is still only 22 and he is likely to improve with coaching and experience. The opportunity to move to Arsenal or Liverpool will certainly be an attractive proposition and it remains to be seen where the talented full back ends up.
Another Wolves player off to Arsenal or Liverpool? Lost count of Wolves players supposed to be joining the so called top six. Do you think they’re a feeder club that just develop players for other clubs? Quite insulting really when you just try and recycle unsubstantiated rumours but you’re all at it! Total nonsense! By the way your “source” Football Insider carried a story last week that Wolves had fallen foul of FFP rules along with Everton and Forest. Did you believe that as well?
Liverpool are unbeaten in their last six Premier League outings, and they will look to extend that run of form when they lock horns with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday evening . The Reds have a formidable record against their hosts, but they might have to grind out all three points against the rejuvenated Cherries.
