# Virals: Liverpool target Yves Bissouma gets £50million price tag

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/01/10/liverpool-fans-laud-unreal-kaide-gordon-performance-on-social-media/) have previously been heavily linked with a move for Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder [Yves Bissouma](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/10/05/virals-journalist-claims-liverpool-are-in-talks-for-yves-bissouma/).

Despite the interest seemingly waning and the Reds [turning to the likes of Denis Zakaria](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-transfer-news-live-franck-22610542) and Franck Kessie, the 26-year-old Mali international won’t be far from the radar at Anfield.

Now also [attracting interest](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10380689/Yves-Bissouma-drawing-Aston-Villa-Steven-Gerrard-looks-bolster-side.html) from Aston Villa, Arsenal and mega-rich Newcastle United, Bissouma is one of the hottest properties in the Premier League.

According to a report from [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3058282/2022/01/09/brighton-are-aware-of-interest-in-yves-bissouma-but-will-demand-50m-to-sell-him-this-month/), as cited by [LFC Transfer Room](https://twitter.com/LFCTransferRoom) on Twitter, Brighton have set their price tag.

> 🇲🇱 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒: [#Brighton](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Brighton?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) will listen to offers of £50million for Yves Bissouma this month. [#AstonVilla](https://twitter.com/hashtag/AstonVilla?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) are keen with [#Liverpool](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Liverpool?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) also previously being linked to the midfielder.

The report claims that the South Coast club ‘will demand’ £50million for the [18-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yves-bissouma/nationalmannschaft/spieler/410425/verein_id/3674) star whilst The Mirror states that Bissouma is still at ‘serious target’ for Liverpool.

This season the combative midfielder has earned an impressive [7.21 Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/yves-bissouma/844842) from 14 league outings.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £22.5million and under contract at the American Express Community Stadium until 2023 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/yves-bissouma/marktwertverlauf/spieler/410425)), signing the Malian for the mooted asking price would represent value for money.

Whilst many of the reported midfield targets have top-quality ability, few have the [100 Premier League games](https://www.premierleague.com/players/50245/Yves-Bissouma/stats) of experience under their belt.

Possessing [strong](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/303096/Show/Yves-Bissouma) tackling, dribbling and ball interception attributes, it’s easy to see why Jurgen Klopp would be keen on signing a player who could be the long-term Gini Wijnaldum successor.
