# Virals: Liverpool ‘huge fans’ of Brazilian forward Antony

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/02/16/virals-liverpool-linked-with-spain-starlet-gavi-following-explosion/) are reported to be ‘huge fans’ of highly sought after Ajax forward [Antony](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/10/27/virals-liverpool-reportedly-keen-on-ajax-winger-antony/).

The Reds have been [linked](https://www.elnacional.cat/ca/esports/klopp-recomana-elegeixi-barca-reial-madrid-estrella_661220_102.html) with the 21-year-old previously and it would appear that the interest hasn’t subsided.

Premier League [rivals](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City are also believed to be keen on the Brazilian.

That’s according to a report from [90Min](https://www.90min.com/posts/ajax-antony-attracting-transfer-interest-from-top-premier-league-clubs), as cited by [Graeme Bailey](https://twitter.com/GraemeBailey/status/1493646028272287745) on Twitter.

The report claims that Liverpool ‘have been watching’ the[five-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/antony/nationalmannschaft/spieler/602105/verein_id/3439) Brazil ace since before a 2020 switch to the Eredivisie from Sao Paolo.

This season Antony – hailed as [‘wonderful](https://www.football-oranje.com/dutch-master-scout-full-of-praise-for-ajax-duo-fan-tas-tic-player/)‘ by Piet de Visser – has [scored 11 times and provided eight assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/antony/leistungsdaten/spieler/602105) in 25 appearances across all competitions.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £31.5million and under contract in Holland until 2025 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/antony/marktwertverlauf/spieler/602105)), signing the Brazilian for a previously [mooted](https://livefootballontv.net/ajax-raises-minimum-asking-price-for-antony-from-thirty-to-forty-million-euros/) €40million (£33.5million) asking price would be a smart move.

Predominantly a right-winger, Antony would likely be satisfied with an understudy role to Mohamed Salah for the time being whilst still [learning to perform](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/antony/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/602105) at the elite level.

Already boasting an array of key attacking attributes such as very strong finishing, passing and ball retention ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/364315/Show/Antony)), it’s evident to see why Jurgen Klopp and others would be big admirers of yet another talented Brazilian.
