Liverpool FC transfer news: Liverpool rivalling Juventus and Tottenham for Rekeem Harper

The Mirror claims that Liverpool, Tottenham and Juventus are interested in West Brom’s Rekeem Harper.

The 19-year-old made 23 appearances for the Baggies last season as they missed out on Premier League promotion.

The midfielder was one of the impressive performers for the Baggies and the report claims that Slaven Bilic wants to keep hold of the rising star.

The report adds that Harper has refused a new deal at the Hawthorns and is out of a contract this month.

Juventus are trying to beat the Premier League sides for the signing of the 19-year-old, and the report claims that Harper could leave for a minor compensation fee in the summer.

Bilic was named as the new West Brom manager recently, and it will be interesting to see if he can persuade Harper to remain at the Hawthorns.

Harper got some Premier League minutes when West Brom were in the top division a few years ago, and he has also spent some time on loan at Blackburn Rovers.

Harper could develop further at a Premier League club

Jurgen Klopp has worked his magic with young players in the past, and Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino has done the same too.

Juventus will be under new management as Maurizio Sarri has joined the club, and it could be an interesting summer for Harper.

Joining a Premier League side could help his development, and he would remain in the country too.
