After scouting the 17-year-old midfielder for Leeds United recently, Liverpool are fans of the wonderkid, Archie Grey of the Daily Briefing, according to Fabrizio Romano’s exclusive piece.
Leeds won’t want to lose this highly-regarded young player, but it appears that interest in the teenager is building. Romano mentioned Liverpool as one of the big names that values him, even though no formal discussions or offers have been made as of yet.
Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool has been successful in their recruitment, frequently discovering some talented young players like these before they mature into first-team regulars.
Although Grey seems like he might be a good fit for the Reds, it is also expected that other elite teams may be vying for the England youth international’s signature soon.
Though Romano has hinted that it would be worth watching, it is unclear exactly what will happen with this story.
“Leeds United’s Archie Grey is a very talented young player, and Liverpool has sent scouts to watch him several times,” Romano stated.
Liverpool is undoubtedly one of the clubs that value Archie and continue to follow him, but they are not the only ones. At this point, there isn’t a bid or formal negotiations, but they value the player.

Jamie Carragher lists the final two transfers Liverpool must complete to win title
After Sunday’s draw at Luton, Liverpool lost momentum in the Premier League title battle. Jamie Carragher highlighted that the team still needs two players to seriously challenge Man City.
In order to position Liverpool as championship contenders in the Premier League this season, Jamie Carragher is adamant that they need to bring in a new holding midfielder and full-back.
The former Reds defender discussed how simpler it was to counterattack against Luton during Jurgen Klopp’s team’s disappointing 1-1 draw with them as opposed to Manchester City, who had won five of the previous six Premier League titles.
This outcome keeps Liverpool three points behind Pep Guardiola’s team, who crushed Bournemouth 6-1 on Saturday, and in third place in the standings. In their first six road games this season in the division, the Reds have only triumphed twice.
Carragher thinks that in order for Liverpool to contend for the championship, they still need a specialist holding midfielder. He said to Sky Sports on Sunday, “Liverpool’s midfield is much better than it was last season, but they still don’t have a top holding midfield player.”
“MacAllister’s not a holding midfield player,” mirror Carragher continued. He’s got strong receiving skills, but he struggles defensively and lacks some speed for that position, so I believe they can still get better there.
With Andy Robertson out due to injury, concerns were also raised about Liverpool’s defensive cover in the full-back positions. Since then, Kostas Tsimikas and Joe Gomez have filled the position, but Carragher thinks it’s more crucial to add a right-back.
“I think Liverpool could do with a great defender who can play a couple of positions in the back four, rather than so much a player for a specific position,” he continued. They decided to start Gomez at left back today rather than Tsimikas because they believed he would be more capable in defence.
“I still believe that Liverpool could use another player in that position. Trent could be released into midfield at different times, and you could play someone there against certain opponents who is maybe tougher and stronger defensively.”
In summarising his views on Liverpool’s current situation, Carragher predicts that although Klopp’s team has improved from the group that finished an unimpressive fifth last season, they will not be able to launch a meaningful title challenge.
“I believe Liverpool is not prepared to win the league,” asserted the ex-defender. “Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool fans, I believe, are aware of that at this time. They aim to return to the top four, but I believe they need a better defender and another midfielder to be competitive once more
