Ismael Bennacer has attracted interest from Liverpool, who are now in competition with Arsenal to sign the midfielder.
Liverpool Football Club has emerged as a contender in the race for the signature of highly-rated midfielder Ismael Bennacer, as per the latest reports in the footballing world. The Reds are set to engage in a fierce tussle with former employers Arsenal for the Algerian’s services.
Bennacer, who honed his skills in Arsenal’s youth ranks, departed the Emirates Stadium in 2017 in pursuit of regular first-team football. Since then, the 24-year-old has blossomed into a formidable midfield presence, attracting interest from top European clubs.
With Liverpool facing a potential midfield conundrum in the upcoming summer, having seen several of their key players depart, the Anfield outfit is believed to be keen on shoring up their options in the middle of the park.
Bennacer’s inclusion in the Merseysiders’ list of potential targets comes as no surprise, with the talented midfielder boasting a wide range of attributes that could bolster Jurgen Klopp’s midfield engine room.
The news will undoubtedly pique the interest of Arsenal, who still hold a fondness for the player and are reportedly keeping tabs on his situation.
The Gunners’ level of interest remains to be seen, but with the player’s stock rising and the potential of a bidding war between the two Premier League giants looming large, the battle for Bennacer’s signature is sure to be one of the transfer sagas to watch out for in the coming months.
