Momodou Sonko, a winger for Hacken, is 18 years old and has Liverpool interested in signing him.
Among the season’s standout performers, Sonko stands out. The adolescent sensation has been making waves in the Europa League after a stellar performance in the just concluded Swedish Allsvenskan, where he scored seven goals and set up four assists.
Liverpool scouts have reportedly been keeping tabs on Sonko there, as reported by the Swedish outlet Expressen.
According to reports, the Reds have joined RB Leipzig and Barcelona in their interest in signing the young player.
Liverpool scouts allegedly attended yesterday night’s match between Hacken and Qarabag after having previously sent scouts to see him in training.
Reportedly, Sonko’s team is prepared to negotiate a transfer fee in exchange for their promising young player. A speculated transfer cost of approximately £8 million has the Gothenburg club considering a record sale of the winger.
Sonko, a scout for LiverpoolBefore the January transfer window opens, here’s a link to something fascinating.
It may have been an under-the-radar move, given Sonko’s age and the money Hacken are seeking.Adding a man to Liverpool’s starting lineup during the winter transfer window appears implausible at this point. We don’t think the latest link involving Joao Palhinha will lead anywhere.
There have been whispers that the Reds may try to entice Piero Hincapie away from Bayer Leverkusen in an effort to get a central defender.In spite of everything, we believe Jurgen Klopp is content with his senior alternatives.
On the other hand, a player like Sonko might not be part of that. Indeed, the youngster has gained experience playing in Europe and has been a first-team possibility for Hacken this season.
It will be January before he turns 19. He would need to exercise patience if he wаnted to join Liverpool, Leipzig, or Barcelona. After joining, Sonko would most likely play for both the U21s and the seniors.
The fact that Liverpool is continuously seeking out clever and economical ways to bolster its roster makes us wonder if their interest is sincere. They would have gotten a good look at Sonko, who played 82 minutes in his team’s 2-1 setback, if they were in Baku last night. Definitely one to remember.
