# Virals: Liverpool interested in Belgian wonderkid Charles de Ketelaere

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/10/12/virals-trio-of-international-liverpool-stars-thrive-again/) are reportedly interested in signing [Club Brugge](https://readceltic.com/2021/09/22/celtic-fan-account-advocates-for-restructuring-of-clubs-model/) forward Charles de Ketelaere.

The 20-year-old Belgian has come to the forefront of many clubs’ attention in recent weeks following a string of [impressive performances](https://www.sofascore.com/player/charles-de-ketelaere/960441).

De Ketelaere netted a [first international goal](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/charles-de-ketelaere/nationalmannschaft/spieler/435772/verein_id/3382) against Italy recently as the talented youngster continued to impress on the biggest stage.

According to a report from [Fichajes](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/delantero-peleara-premier-league-20210919.html) (via [Daily Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1503832/Liverpool-Belgium-Jurgen-Klopp-transfer-latest-update-news-SNT)), as cited by [RumorsTransfersNews24/7](https://twitter.com/rumorstransfers)on Twitter, the Reds, along with a number of their rivals, have sat up and taken notice.

The report claims that Liverpool have taken a closer look at the [twice capped](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/charles-de-ketelaere/nationalmannschaft/spieler/435772/verein_id/3382) starlet ahead of a possible move in the future.

This season De Ketelaere has [scored four times and provided three assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/charles-de-ketelaere/leistungsdaten/spieler/435772) in 10 Jupiler Pro League appearances.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at an ever-increasing £22.5million and under contract until 2024 in Belgium ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/charles-de-ketelaere/marktwertverlauf/spieler/435772)), signing the ace already looks to be an expensive proposition.

An [extremely versatile](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/charles-de-ketelaere/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/435772) operator, De Kelelaere has played as a left-back, central midfielder, winger and as a centre-forward during a promising young career.

Possessing similar attributes to Roberto Firmino such as holding on to possession, defensive contribution and key passing ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/386390/Show/Charles-De-Ketelaere)), the Belgian could be the ideal long-term replacement for the current Liverpool star.
