Premier League giants set for a battle! Liverpool to challenge Arsenal and Manchester City for Dutch wonderkid
One of European football's brightest and most prolific young full-backs has emerged on the radar of the Premier League giants.
Details: Liverpool continue to keep a close eye on the development of 20-year-old Feyenoord right-back Givairo Read. According to exclusive information from TEAMtalk, the Reds see the promising Dutchman as a long-term solution to their problems on the flank, but they will face direct competition from Arsenal and Manchester City in the race to sign him.
Read has hit outstanding form in the current Eredivisie campaign, registering 5 assists in his first 7 matches and making a significant contribution to Feyenoord's confident unbeaten run. Interest in the full-back from English top-flight clubs first emerged last summer, when Nottingham Forest made a concrete offer, while Everton and Roma also showed serious interest. Premier League giants are now considering a move for the player in the January transfer window.
It is worth noting that the 20-year-old defender is regularly called up to the Netherlands U21 national team, for whom he is set to feature in the upcoming qualifying matches. According to statistical outlet Transfermarkt, Givairo Read's market value is estimated at €25 million.
