Liverpool want Hertha BSC starlet Kennet Eichhorn | OneFootball

Liverpool have entered the race to sign Hertha BSC defensive midfielder Kennet Eichhorn and concrete talks have already taken place to bring him to Anfield, according to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg. Liverpool manager Arne Slot will be backed again this summer and the 16-year-old wonderkid has emerged as a target for the Reds.Eichhorn is planning to leave the 2. Bundesliga club in the coming weeks and he has a release clause worth around €12 million.

The teenage sensation played 18 games for Hertha BSC this term and is looking to move to a bigger club after his side failed to secure promotion. Joining Liverpool will appeal to Eichhorn and it appears the feeling is mutual. However, the Reds are not likely to include the German in their immediate first-team plans despite his recent performances at senior level. They are in dire need of reinforcements this summer after an underwhelming season, and while key first-team additions are on the cards, Liverpool are also preparing for the future.

Eichhorn has huge potential and could become a top Premier League star in the near future.
