Star closing in on massive move

Liverpool are moving closer to signing the exciting teenage star after narrowing his options.

Richard Hughes remains active even though the transfer window is closed. This time last year he first contacted Milos Kerkez's representatives to assess whether the Hungarian would be interested in a move to Anfield.

A few months before Hugo Ekitike's transfer, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz Hughes also spoke to their representatives and established contact.

Right now he'll probably be making the same rounds. Which player is on his agenda remains to be seen.

No doubt, like all the aforementioned players, he will want to keep the situation under wraps for as long as possible.

Reds like to operate quietly and in the shadows. This is why they have been able to operate so successfully for many years.

However, one area they haven't yet figured out how to navigate is the South American market. Over the years, Liverpool have had a strong scouting presence in the region.

The club's scouts followed players like Rodrigo from a very early age and even came to sign the Brazilian, for example.

Other players Liverpool are keeping on their radar include Julian Alvarez, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez. Some of these players were eventually signed.

But none of them are directly from South America.

It is this trend that Liverpool are now actively trying to break, and they may already be getting closer to their desired goal.

According to TBR Football Liverpool are among the clubs seriously interested in the services of Yann Soubiabre.

And the site claims the Liverpool target has made his decision. The report claims that he has decided to sign with the Premier League club.

It doesn't reveal who the club is, just that he wants to move to England, which would certainly increase Liverpool's chances of signing him.

The 18-year-old striker has a very interesting profile. He can play in a front three and is a lot of fun to watch on the ball. Subiabre has fast feet and can take down any opponent when at full strength.

Despite his young age, he has already made 19 senior appearances for River Plate, which would make it much easier for him to obtain a work permit in the United Kingdom.

Clearly, Liverpool would be a huge step up for the youngster (if he decides to join the Reds). However, he will not be required to come and immediately get down to business.

First he will be given a chance to acclimatize. He might even play a few U21 games before getting his first-team opportunities, where Slot could likely add another option to his attacking depth.
