# Liverpool linked with Haaland signing – a hugely exciting young player

Liverpool already know a thing or two about Erling Haaland, after the striker scored in the Reds’ 4-3 win over Salzburg last week.

The 19-year-old is one of the most highly-rated young strikers in Europe, having already bagged 18 goals in just 11 appearances this season.

According to [https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/watch-out-juve-many-epl-clubs-are-also-after-haaland-99953](https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/watch-out-juve-many-epl-clubs-are-also-after-haaland-99953)*[Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/en/news/watch-out-juve-many-epl-clubs-are-also-after-haaland-99953)*, Liverpool are eyeing up a move for Haaland, but they aren’t alone in expressing an interest in signing him.

Manchester United and Tottenham are also monitoring the situation, with a January move not ruled out.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

There is no denying Haaland’s potential and he has all the attributes to be a success in the Premier League.

Tall, quick and with an obvious eye for goal, the teenager’s father, Alfe Inge Haaland, also plied his trade in England for a number of years.

Liverpool could arguably do with a stronger backup to Roberto Firmino, with Divock Origi often used on the left wing and Rhian Brewster still maturing as a player.

Haaland would be a key addition, both immediately and in the long-term, but a January transfer would be a surprise.

It could be one to keep an eye out for next summer.
