123 Liverpool are still looking at potential new signings this month and Atalanta midfielder Ederson is now on their radar.
The Reds are not expected to make moves this month with money limited and no apparent need for immediate strengthening needed. However, Liverpool have been known in the past to move quickly if they feel someone is gettable.
And according to reports from Italy, Atalanta star Ederson is the latest name to be linked with a move to Anfield.
Liverpool eyeing move for Atalanta’s Ederson
According to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, Ederson is being targeted by a number of clubs, including Liverpool.
The Reds spent money on new midfielders like Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endo and Dominik Szoboszlai in the summer. However, there’s been a constant feeling that one more defensive minded midfielder would help them along.
Ederson, 24, has been doing the business for Atalanta and Sky Sports pundit Tim Vickery has given a glowing reference on the Brazilian as well.
“24-years-old, strong, well-built central midfielder. Strong on the ball, versatile, box-to-box. Strong personality as well. The first time I remember him was his professional debut really,” Vickery explained.
Liverpool, then, could well have another star on their hands if they make their move.
Ederson is also being looked at by Tottenham, while Newcastle are also keen on the Brazilian as well.
More depth needed
Whether or not it happens in January or in the summer, Liverpool probably do just need to add that little bit more depth to their squad.
Right now, the Reds have a very good XI and beyond that, some good backs up in certain positions.
However, midfield is always an area for improvement and a player like Ederson would improve things for the Anfield club.
At around the £30m mark, Ederson is not too expensive either and if a deal can be done, then you’d have to say it’s smart business by the Reds.
