Liverpool and Arsenal to battle it out for ‘next Alexis Sanchez’

Liverpool and Arsenal to battle it out for ‘next Alexis Sanchez’

Both Liverpool and Arsenal will look to sign attacking players between now and the end of the summer transfer window.

Liverpool remain in talks to sign Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye, but so far, PSG have been unwilling to lower their asking price for the pair.

Arsenal, for their part, have signed Christos Tzolis and are looking to add another player to their squad.

And now, reports from Denmark claim they are among the clubs keeping tabs on Dario Osorio.

Liverpool want to sign Dario Osorio

Campo.dk report that the two clubs, along with the likes of Everton, Leeds United and AC Milan, are interested in signing the young attacker.

Midtjylland are looking for a fee of £17.1m but are also hoping for a bidding war, which would allow them to net a bigger fee.

Earlier this year, FC Midtjylland technical director Kristian Kjaer compared the youngster with Alexis Sanchez.

“We know that Arsenal have been looking into Osorio, but we also know other clubs in the Premier League have done the same,” Kjaer said.

“I also think it is well known that Bournemouth looked into him historically. There are other clubs in the Premier League also looking into him.

“In my opinion, he serves the Premier League very, very good because he has a hard-working mentality. His defensive transition runs are amazing, his top speed is amazing. Left-footed right winger can go to the right and to the left of his direct opponent.

“He has the full package, seen as the next Alexis Sanchez in Chile.”

The 22-year-old is clearly a talented player and has been linked with Liverpool for over a year now. If a deal for Mbaye falls through, maybe he could emerge as a low-risk, high-reward option for the Reds.
