Liverpool is reportedly interested in signing 17-year-old Leny Yoro, a defender for Lille, but they are not the only team showing interest in signing the player. United and Chelsea have also been cited as possible suitors for the 17-year-old.
Jacek Kulig, a football talent scout, recently praised Yoro, praising his long-term potential and stating: “According to Wyscout, Leny Yoro has won the most defensive duels in Ligue 1 this season (89,3%). over 8% more than Yunis Abdelhamid, who came in second. I am 17 years old. top-notch content.”
This sums up how highly he is already rated as a teenager, and Yoro’s stats further show why this is the case, with 27 appearances already made for Lille’s first team, 22 of which have come in Ligue 1 – he has scored twice and assisted once in that time.
Given that Joel Matip and Virgil van Dijk are both now 32 years old, Liverpool will likely aim to reinforce their center-back position. Yoro may be seen as the team’s future leader at center back, perhaps with Ibrahima Konate.
The French teenager’s desire to play under Klopp is an advantage that the Reds will always have over others, and that could influence his decision even though it won’t be easy to beat teams like United and Chelsea to his signing.
