Liverpool is reportedly leading the race to sign Rayan Ait-Nouri this summer, although the Wolves star may not be in a rush to make a move.

According to journalist Abdel Hamed, Ait-Nouri is set to leave Molineux this summer, with Liverpool leading Chelsea and Manchester City for his signature.

The Reds have been linked with him previously, with French outlet Le10sport claiming at the end of 2023 that the 23-year-old was attracting interest from Anfield.

With suggestions that Liverpool will be open to offers for Kostas Tsimikas this summer (Daily Mail), Arne Slot and Richard Hughes could be on the lookout for another option at left-back.

“We won a lot of important games with the new manager, and me and my teammates are very happy, and hopefully they will be the same next season.

“The previous season [2022/23] was a little bit hard for me, but I have a lot of confidence and I knew what I could do on the pitch, and this season I was able to show that.

“It was a very good season for me, and for everyone.

For sure, I’m very happy here.”

Liverpool.com says: Ait-Nouri could be a good option as a long-term replacement for Andy Robertson at left-back.

He certainly feels like a player who will be making a step up if not this summer, then very soon.
