# Virals: Liverpool reportedly ‘leading the race’ to sign Noa Lang

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/10/17/virals-liverpool-scout-as-monaco-midfielder-aurelien-tchouameni/) are reportedly ‘leading the race’ to sign Club Brugge forward [Noa Lang](https://readceltic.com/2020/08/26/celtic-linked-with-move-to-sign-ajaxs-noa-lang/).

The Reds are believed to be ahead of AC Milan and [Premier League](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) rivals Arsenal in the pursuit of the 22-year-old Dutch sensation.

Signed from Eredivisie giants Ajax in July of this year for [£5.40million](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/noa-lang/transfers/spieler/339332), Lang has enjoyed a scintillating start to the 2021/22 campaign in Belgium.

According to Italian outlet [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-sul-gioiello-lang-i-dettagli-dell-incontro-maldini-gli-ha--10562), as cited by [RumorsTransfersNews24/7](https://twitter.com/rumorstransfers)on Twitter, Liverpool are the frontrunners for the ace’s signature.

Recently handed a [senior international debut](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/noa-lang/nationalmannschaft/spieler/339332/hauptwettbewerb/WMQ/verein_id/3379) for Holland, the report claims that Brugge value Lang at around €25million (£21million).

So far this season, the man hailed as [‘pure class’](https://cceit.com/noa-lang-is-the-best-player-in-the-belgian-competition-i-think/) by club analyst Filip Joos, has scored [four times and provided five assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/noa-lang/leistungsdaten/spieler/339332) in 14 appearances across all competitions.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Signing Lang would [bolster the attacking options](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/first-team) at Jurgen Klopp’s disposal.

Immensely versatile, the Dutch starlet predominantly [operates from the left](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/noa-lang/leistungsdaten/spieler/339332) for Brugge but can play in a variety of different attacking positions.

Boasting a host of strong [forward-thinking attributes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/354283/Show/Noa-Lang) such as key passes, dribbling and passing, the Ajax academy graduate seems destined for an elite European switch.

Valued at £22.50million and under contract in Belgium until 2025 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/noa-lang/marktwertverlauf/spieler/339332)), Liverpool should jump at the mooted £21million asking price.

Kopites unfamiliar with Lang’s prowess will get the opportunity to have a closer look when the forward [comes up against Manchester City](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/team/fixtures/_/id/570/club-brugge) in the UEFA Champions League this week.
