Last month, La Gazette du Fennec reported Liverpool manager Arne Slot is leading their interest in Feyenoord’s Anis Hadj Moussa. They also said the Reds manager is fascinated by the forward, who arrived at the Eredivisie side after Slot’s exit.
The Algeria international has scored six goals and registered two assists from 22 games this season.
Africa Foot state his performances have attracted the attention of other European clubs, including Liverpool.
In fact, the outlet only focuses on the Premier League side as they ‘remain closest’ to the 22-year-old. In other words, the Merseyside club would be leading the chase for Anis Hadj Moussa at this moment in time.
Liverpool ‘clearly don’t intend to abandon’ the possibility of bringing him to Anfield and a deal is likelier to take place in the summer than in the winter market.
Liverpool head of recruitment Barry Hunter is leading the discussions as Africa Foot claim he’s in close contact with the player’s entourage, in particular with his agent, Mohamed Dahmane.
Slot’s side ‘plan to finalise’ the deal for Anis Hadj Moussa in the summer for €12m. The report insists the fee could increase if the player were to impress in the coming months.
