Liverpool FC transfer news: Reds agree on terms with Ndombele’s representatives

Liverpool have agreed on terms with Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, according to Euro United (h/t Daily Star).

The Reds have been linked with Lyon pair Houssem Aouar and Nabil Fekir in the past (h/t Metro), however, there is a lot of interest in 22-year-old Ndombele.

The report claims that Tottenham and Juventus have also agreed on terms with Ndombele’s representatives, and Mauricio Pochettino has spoken about an interest in signing the Frenchman.

Ndombele shines for Lyon this season

The 22-year-old has been excellent for Lyon this season having racked up 48 appearances for club and country.

The Frenchman primarily is a defensive midfielder and it will be interesting to see how this story develops in the coming weeks.

Liverpool already have a quality player for that role in Fabinho. The former Monaco star has been excellent in recent weeks and was one of the stars in our 4-0 win over Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final.

The Reds also have several options for the midfield positions, but we can also do with more quality coming into the team.

Liverpool have Naby Keita injured at the moment and he should return next season while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain made his first-team return recently.

Ndombele impressed for the French club in the Champions League and was one of their best players when they defeated Manchester City at the Etihad.
