The competition for Assan Ouédraogo, a young player for Schalke 04, now includes Everton and Liverpool.
Journalist Florian Plettenberg of Sky Deutschland provides the information and shares some fascinating details regarding this pursuit.
He asserts that Ouédraogo’s Bundesliga 2 team has been under Liverpool’s and ‘particularly Jurgen Klopp’s’ observation. Everton, who also want to transfer him to the Premier League, is a rival, though.
The midfielder at Schalke 04 has a release clause, which is appealing to those teams. The rumour is that he will only cost €20 million to purchase next summer.
This summer, Ouédraogo was promoted to the club’s first squad. He has since made nine appearances for them and even scored on his debut.
When Brighton & Hove Albion was originally rumoured to be interested in the young player last week, he had previously been linked to a Premier League move. Therefore, Everton and Liverpool should be on the lookout for it.
Plettenberg praises Ouédraogo as a “versatile midfielder,” and he must be making an impression on scouts if Premier League clubs are showing such early interest in him.
