Liverpool handed boost in their pursuit of Goretzka

Liverpool appear to have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Schalke midfielder Leon Goretzka.

Germany’s general manager Oliver Bierhoff has dropped a huge hint regarding Goretzka’s future, the Mirror reports, with the chief rather strongly suggesting that the youngster is on his way to the Premier League.

The likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona have both been touted with admiration in Goretzka’s qualities, but if Bierhoff is to be believed, the midfielder’s next destination will be in the Premier League.

We feel that England, because of the amount of money you have with TV rights, young talented players like Leroy Sané and Leon Goretzka are moving to England and this is not good for our league but also for the quality of our game.

In January, with it looking unlikely that he’ll pen a new deal at Bundesliga outfit Schalke, the player will be free to discuss a move with foreign clubs, and potentially sign a pre-contract agreement ahead of the 2018/19 season.

Liverpool have been heavily linked with a move for Goretzka in recent times, and it looks as though there’s every chance that they could sign him in the near future.

Arsenal are also interested in Goretzka.
