Scout “Reveals” Liverpool Transfer Interest as Reds Enter Competition with Premier League Rivals for £68m Star
Liverpool are reportedly among the top clubs expressing interest in Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze. The former chief scout of Manchester United, Mick Brown, has revealed that Arsenal and Manchester City are also eyeing the England international.
Eze, aged 26, has a £68 million release clause in his contract, which will become active during the summer transfer window.
Although he has only scored once this season for a struggling, winless Palace side, the attacking midfielder is still attracting attention from clubs competing in the Champions League.
Brown, who has also scouted for clubs like Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, and West Ham United, believes that Eze would be better suited playing for a top-tier club rather than staying at Palace, drawing a comparison to Michael Olise.
“I’ve heard there are questions about Eze’s consistency,” Brown told Football Insider. We know what he’s capable of; he’s shown he can be top quality, but he needs to show it every week.
“I know the top clubs – Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool are all interested in a move, and they’re keeping a close eye on him. If you can feed him, he’ll thrive. If he’s not getting that at Palace, he’d be getting it at the top clubs.
“With no disrespect to Palace, the players will be focusing on their own performances without also having to think they need to feed Eze. I think the type of team he has to be in is one of those top clubs to help him hit the top level.
“If you’re a talented player at these types of clubs, they’ll happily feed you the ball, but they also expect you to do the business consistently. That’s what the scouts will be looking for when they’re watching him at Palace.”
