Liverpool’s Ait-Nouri interest has “legs”

Ait-Nouri has been linked with the Reds plenty of times, with one recent report claiming they are even in “pole position” to sign him.

Now, journalist David Lynch has told Anfield Index’s Media Matters podcast that he believes Liverpool’s interest could be genuine.

“Just because he’s been linked so frequently recently, and obviously Liverpool have a great relationship with his agency,” Lynch said.

“So I think that there’s definitely something in that.”

Lynch does state that Kostas Tsimikas would likely have to be sold for a move to happen, but did also stress that the Greek is “a bit of a candidate for moving on this summer.”
