Liverpool target dubbed ‘the next Bukayo Saka’ addresses future Reds move

Liverpool have been offered an update about their pursuit for a wonderkid target, with the player himself clarifying his future. 

Over the past month, the Reds have been linked with a transfer for Momodou Sonko, an 18-year-old Swedish winger currently tearing up the Allsvenskan with BK Hacken. Though predominantly right-footed, Sonko’s diminutive frame and dribbling ability has seem him earn comparisons to Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka. 

But Liverpool face plenty of competition for Sonko’s signature with Swedish outlet Sportbladet reporting that BK Hacken has already rejected an offer for Sonko this January window. The report also suggests that Barcelona, RB Leipzig, Bologna, Ajax, PSV, Anderlecht and Club Brugge are all among the clubs interested in the 18-year-old. 

But amid the speculation, Sonko has addressed a potential move to Anfield in the future, suggesting that he’s in no real rush to leave Sweden right now. Continuing his development is clearly at the forefront of his thinking, though he does admit that he would of course welcome Liverpool’s interest.
