The 22-year-old made 34 appearances for his new club last season, scoring four goals and laying on two assists, before playing every minute as England won the U21s Euros this summer.<\/p>\n
That has unsurprisingly attracted interest from a number of Premier League<\/a> clubs, and Liverpool are among those to have been linked.<\/p>\n Writing for GIVEMESPORT<\/a>, reporter Sam Cohen claims the champions are \u201ccontinuing to keep a close eye on\u201d Cresswell, and \u201cwhile there is no active move at this stage\u201d he is \u201ca name worth remembering.\u201d<\/p>\n Liverpool are looking to bring in a young centre-back following the departure of Jarell Quansah<\/a> and he would clearly fit the profile.<\/p>\n Cresswell is an aerially dominant centre-back who is considered a leader in defence, though his ability to play out from the back has not been truly tested as of yet.<\/p>\n Perhaps crucially, he would be eligible as a homegrown player in the Premier League<\/a>, which would certainly be useful not only to Liverpool but any of his suitors if he made the move back to England.<\/p>\n Speaking to The Redmen TV<\/a>, the Mail\u2018s Liverpool reporter Lewis Steele could not corroborate Cohen\u2019s story but at least backed up his credentials as a source.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Liverpool have also been credited with an interest in Parma\u2019s Giovanni Leoni, 18, and Wolfsburg\u2019s Konstantinos Koulierakis, 21, as they draft a shortlist of centre-back targets.<\/p>\n Separate to that endeavour is the pursuit of Crystal Palace<\/a> captain Marc Guehi, who is still considered likely to join<\/a> the Reds this summer.<\/p>\n Guehi, who turned 25 earlier in July, is viewed as more of a market opportunity for Liverpool given he has entered the final year of his contract at Selhurst Park and is capable of immediately stepping up to the top level.<\/p>\n With the uncertainty over Ibrahima Konate<\/a>\u2018s future \u2013 who also has a year left on his terms \u2013 amid interest from Real Madrid<\/a>, it is possible that the club will be required to sign two centre-backs in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool are in the market for a young centre-back this summer and the latest name to be touted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":285068,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5008],"tags":[748,393,4884,763,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-285067","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-england","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-liverpool-fc","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114902297070882716","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285067","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=285067"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/285067\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/285068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285067"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=285067"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=285067"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cresswellfotmob-600x400.jpg\")
