Liverpool face competition in Gelhardt pursuit – Why Liverpool should act quickly

Chelsea and Everton look set to rival Liverpool in the race to land the highly rated Wigan Athletic striker Joe Gelhardt, and the Reds should act quickly to secure the teenagers signature.

Liverpool have previously been linked with a move for the 17-year-old, who is currently contracted to the Championship outfit until next summer.

And according to the Express, Everton and Chelsea are now also both keen on the Wigan starlet, as interest in the teenager heats up.

READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Gelhardt is certainly an exciting talent, and Liverpool should act quickly to add him to the growing list of young prospects at the club. 

Summer signings Harvey Elliott and Sepp van den Berg both arrived at Anfield prior to this season amidst a wave of excitement about the pair, and the former certainly impressed on his debut last week.

Adding Gelhardt as the third young and incredibly talented footballer to join the club would certainly be a positive for the Reds, and Jurgen Klopp will be looking to act quickly to beat the likes of Chelsea and Everton to his signature.
