Richard Hughes now 'keen' on signing 10 g/a Premier League star for Liverpool

Others such as Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo have been poor with the lack of versatility among their attacking line also a bit of a problem.

Several players have already been linked with an Anfield switch but this latest rumour will certainly pique the interest of the Reds' fanbase.

"Sunderland face a mounting battle to keep hold of midfielder Enzo Le Fee, with TEAMtalk sources confirming that several English clubs fighting for Champions League qualification are keen on him, including Liverpool," TEAMtalk wrote.

"Liverpool, who registered interest in Le Fee last year, are primed to revive their pursuit as they look to bolster their engine room.

"However, sources close to the situation insist the Merseysiders will not have a clear run. Other leading Premier League sides with European ambitions are also monitoring developments closely, creating a competitive market that could test Sunderland’s resolve.

"Despite the external pressure, Sunderland remain determined to retain its star assets. Club sources are adamant that they want to build on this season’s success rather than dismantle a squad that has exceeded expectations."

Enzo Le Fee could help improve Liverpool's ranks massively

Le Fee has contributed to 10 goals across all competitions for Regis Le Bris' men this season.

The Frenchman joined the Blackcats in the second half of the 2024-25 campaign where he helped them earn promotion to the top flight.

Although his natural position is as a number 10, Le Bris has played him on the left, as a striker and even as a number six. and every time he's played, he's always shown up and proven his worth.

This versatility would be key for Liverpool as the 2025-26 campaign has proven how fragile some of their players actually are.

And, the fact that he's already got a season of Premier League football under his belt means that it might not take him as long to adjust, unlike some of the players that the Reds signed this summer.
