Young players who joined Liverpool from other clubs because of their talent, such as Harvey Elliott and Ben Doak, are emerging in the first team. Young players from the academy are also beginning to make their mark, and the lower organization is being enriched.
Assan Ouédraogo, a 17-year-old midfielder who plays for Schalke, a prestigious club in the Bundesliga’s second tier, is gaining recognition as a candidate for the next generation of star players, and mega clubs such as Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Inter Milan are watching his development.
Liverpool is no exception, and they are trying to acquire him. However, according to Christian Falk, a German journalist, RB Leipzig, also in Germany, is ahead in the battle and seems to be in the chase at the moment.
“Talks with the talented Assan Ouedraogo from Schalke are rumoured to be taking place soon. However, RB Leipzig currently appear to be ahead of Liverpool when it comes to the midfielder.”
