# Liverpool could push to sign young Jamaican winger in January

Liverpool will reportedly go head-to-head with Premier League rivals Tottenham, West Ham and Leicester in pursuit of Cavalier winger Alex Marshall.

[According to the Sunday People, as cited on the Birmingham Mail](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-liverpool-tottenham-transfers-15278926), Marshall is attracting a wealth of interest from the Premier League after impressing in Jamaica.

Championship side Aston Villa are also believed to be in the running to sign the player, who could possibly be on the move in the new year.

The report claims that a host of clubs have sent scouts to keep a close eye on the player in preparation for the January window.

Given the player’s young age, it is likely that he could go straight into the acedemy set-up at the club, rather than compete for a first-team place at Anfield, should the Reds complete a deal in January.

Marshall is a Jamaican international and is very highly thought of in his home country.
