Liverpool hold fresh talks for Kennet Eichhorn as Bayer Leverkusen loan plan emerges

Liverpool are pushing to sign Hertha Berlin youngster Kennet Eichhorn, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg.

They have held talks for the German midfielder and could send him on loan to Bayer Leverkusen to gain top-flight experience if a deal goes through.

The Reds are beginning to show a more aggressive approach towards youth recruitment. They recently signed Noah Adekoya, Talla Ndiaye and Ifeanyi Ndukwe.

The Merseyside giants are also doing their best to keep the best talents at the club. Handing Josh Abe a new long-term contract demonstrates that point.

Signing Eichhorn would represent a huge coup, considering the level of interest he has generated from other clubs, including Manchester City.

Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig are other clubs interested in him.

The German is a defensive midfielder with strong tactical intelligence. He exudes composure in possession and can dictate the tempo of a game.

Eichhorn is the youngest-ever debutant in the 2. Bundesliga, and the youngest goalscorer in German Cup history.

He scored twice in 19 games across all competitions for Hertha’s first team last season.

Eichhorn represents Germany U17 at the international level, making four appearances since breaking into the team last September.
