129 Wolves defender Rayan Ait-Nouri has emerged as a target for Liverpool ahead of the summer with the Reds leading the race to land the Algerian left-back – and Conor Coady is a big fan of Ait-Nouri.
Ait-Nouri, 22, has starred for Wolves over the last few seasons – after joining the club in the summer of 2021. He has clocked up 106 outings for the Midlands club, having a hand in 15 goals while at Wolves.
His form has not gone unnoticed. Arsenal are said to have made an approach for Ait-Nouri in January, with the lefty valued at £50m. But that was rejected. Interest is likely to remain ahead of the summer.
Now, Liverpool are said to be leading the race to sign Ait-Nouri – with Jurgen Klopp advising the Reds to make a move. Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City are also said to be interested in him.
A player that played alongside Liverpool academy product Coady, while the latter was Wolves captain. Speaking to the Express & Star in 2020, Coady raved about Ait-Nouri – saying he has “bags of tricks”.
“He’s sharp, really sharp. He turns you inside out and has bags of tricks. He’s a young boy coming from a different country, he’s a fantastic person and is brilliant to have around the place,” Coady said in 2020.

Ait-Nouri is a top, top player. Probably one of the best left-backs in the Premier League as things stand. Able to score goals, create them, go past a man, but has the pace to get back and defend. Still only 22.
If Liverpool can get a deal done for Ait-Nouri at just £50m, then it would be a very good bit of business. With Andy Robertson now in his thirties and picking up injuries, Ait-Nouri is good enough to replace him.
