Adrian Akande would be an exciting signing by Liverpool, representing a long-term solution in wide areas.
According to All Nigeria Soccer, the Reds are one of a host of clubs interested in the signing the 15-year-old.
Akande is currently on Chelsea’s books, but Liverpool, Tottenham, West Ham, Celtic and Rangers are all keeping a close eye on him.
Despite his tender years, the youngster has already featured at under-23 level, highlighting his potential.

Jurgen Klopp is famed for advocating youth, so in many ways, Liverpool would be the ideal next destination for Akande.
Although Chelsea are currently adopting a more youth-focused approach with Frank Lampard in charge, that is likely to change once their transfer ban ends.
Liverpool youngsters will always be given the chance if they are good enough, as has been proven with numerous players under Klopp, most notably Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Akande is clearly a long-term acquisition, but he could thrive in Liverpool’s academy, playing alongside similarly exciting prospects such as Ki-Jana Hoever, Sepp van den Berg and Harvey Elliott.
