According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Liverpool are looking at Nathan Zeze as an alternative to Dean Huijsen, who has agreed to join Real Madrid this summer. Liverpool wanted to sign the Bournemouth defender, but they have missed out on the Spanish international.
It will be interesting to see if they can get a deal for Zeze across the line. The French under-21 International has done quite well in Ligue 1 this season, and he has been a key player for Nantes. It will be interesting to see if he is willing to move to the Premier League.
Liverpool are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be quite exciting for the player. They could nurture him into a future star. Liverpool need defensive reinforcements, and signing a central defender will be a priority for them. Ibrahima Konate is nearing the end of his contract at the club, and he has been linked with an exit. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can get across the line.
The talented young defender could be attracted to the idea of joining one of the biggest clubs in the world. Liverpool could provide him with the platform to compete in the UEFA Champions League and fight for trophies regularly. The teenage sensation has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League, and he could be a quality player for Liverpool.
It remains to be seen whether Liverpool decide to follow up on their interest with an official offer to the Frenchman. They will be disappointed to have missed out on the Real Madrid-bound Huijsen, but there is no doubt that he is a talented player with a bright future as well.
If they can sign Zeze for a reasonable amount of money this summer, it could prove to be a shrewd investment. Liverpool have done well to nurture talented young players into established first-team players over the years, and they could play a key role in his development.
