Liverpool and Arsenal among clubs chasing 21-year-old full-back

Liverpool In The Hunt To Sign Brentford’s Aaron Hickey

Liverpool remain reportedly set to enter a transfer battle with Premier League rivals Arsenal and Manchester United for the acquisition of Brentford’s promising young right-back, Aaron Hickey.

The 21-year-old Scottish international has emerged as a potential target for the Reds, who are considering him as a valuable addition to their squad. He can also play left-back and left midfield. His two-footedness makes him a good addition to any side

Hickey‘s versatility and potential make him an intriguing prospect for Liverpool. As a right-back, he could provide crucial cover and competition for Trent Alexander-Arnold

, who has been a mainstay in the team for several seasons. While Liverpool has promising young talents like Conor Bradley and Calvin Ramsay who can play in the same position, Hickey’s availability has sparked interest among top clubs.

The Scottish defender’s journey to Brentford saw him move from Serie A side Bologna in 2022, where he began to showcase his talents on a more prominent stage. His experience in Italy, coupled with his adaptability, could make him a valuable asset for Liverpool.

Hickey To The Reds?

However, Liverpool faces stiff competition from Arsenal and Manchester United in the race to secure Hickey’s services. The Premier League’s top clubs are continually scouting young talents with the potential to strengthen their squads, and Hickey fits the profile of a promising prospect.

Liverpool’s interest in Hickey underlines the club’s commitment to nurturing and acquiring young talent. The Reds have a track record of developing young players into first-team stars, and Hickey could be seen as another player with the potential to thrive under Jurgen Klopp’s guidance.

As the transfer saga unfolds, Liverpool fans will certainly be eager to see whether Hickey ultimately dons the famous red jersey. The prospect of having a young and talented right-back as backup to Alexander-Arnold could provide depth and competition in a crucial position.
