Liverpool have entered the race to sign Romeo Lavia from Southampton and have reportedly opened talks over a potential deal. According to reports, the Saints are willing to let go of the 19-year-old midfielder for a fee of £45 million.
The youngster was signed from Manchester City last year for a fee of £14 million and had a successful first season in the Premier League. Arsenal have had discussions regarding Lavia, but Mikel Arteta has his sights set on signing Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Jurrien Timber.
Fabrizio Romano has reported that Liverpool have now added the midfielder to their summer shortlist. The Reds are also looking to sign Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram, however, no agreement has been reached yet.
Jurgen Klopp has already secured the signing of Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton this month and is eager to add depth to his midfield options. Lavia is also on Chelsea's radar, but former Southampton and England midfielder Carlton Palmer has advised him to choose Arsenal over Stamford Bridge.
Palmer stated that the Blues still have a lot of work to do with their squad and that Lavia would be better suited to join Arteta's side as their squad is young and on the rise.
