Liverpool interested in signing versatile Premier League midfielder who secured free transfer last summer – Reports
Liverpool are reportedly keen to sign Aston Villa midfielder Boubacar Kamara after missing out on Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.
The Reds are in the hunt for a first-choice defensive midfielder following Jordan Henderson and Fabinho's departures for a combined £52 million earlier this summer. They have also lost the likes of James Milner, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the middle of the park.
Liverpool were heavily linked with Caicedo before being beaten by Chelsea with a Birish record £115 million bid for the Brighton & Hove Albion player. They are also likely to lose out on Southampton's Lavia, who's close to joining the Blues on a £58 million transfer.
Acording to Foot Mercato, Jurgen Klopp's outfit have identified Kamara as a midfield target in the final two weeks of the summer transfer window. They're keeping tabs on him after deeming Crystal Palace star Cheick Doucoure's £70 million tag as too high.
Kamara could be a first-team starter ahead of teenager Stefan Bajcetic at Anfield. He could also play in a No. 8 role in case Thiago, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai or Curtis Jones is unavailable.
Since joining Aston Villa on a free transfer from Marseille last summer, Kamara has made 27 appearances across competitions. He was out injured with knee and ankle injuries for quite a while last season.
The Reds, meanwhile, are close to signing VfB Stuttgart captain Wataru Endo this week. They're thought to dish out an initial sum of £16 million for the 30-year-old Japan international, as per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
