Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton and Bournemouth's Alex Scott appear to be two of the frontrunners for the recruitment team, but links have also emerged over a deal for Ayari.The 22-year-old midfielder has grown into a regular in the Brighton team, though some of last season was disrupted through a shoulder injury.Ayari's impressive Premier League displays resulted in another Sweden call-up, where he has already shown his quality for the national team at the World Cup,The Brighton ace scored a brace against Tunisia in his side's opening group stage game, which also featured a goal from Liverpool star Alexander Isak, who is showing signs of getting back to his best.The links to Liverpool have naturally stepped up as a result, but as far as the midfielder is concerned, his full focus is on the tournament before he even considers anything else.Yasin Ayari has been linked with a transfer to Liverpool this summer(Image: (Photo by Martín Fonseca/Eurasia Sport Images/Getty Images))Speaking to Swedish outlet Fotbollskanalen, he was asked about a move to Anfield and said: "I'm in the World Cup bubble, as they say, and I don't have any control over anything.

Everyone else is taking care of it for me. I'm just here focusing on the World Cup."That means any deal may well have to wait until after the end of Sweden's World Cup campaign, which looks set to continue into at least the round of 32.Despite failing to win a game in qualifying, the Blagut got entry into the play-offs via their Nations League performance, making the most of that chance to land a place at the tournament.A 5-1 win over Tunisia helped Isak and co. add an important three points to the points tally, moving them within touching distance of qualifying for the round of 32.While goal different may be enough to sneak in via third, games against Netherlands and Japan in the final two matches will decide the team's fate.After that, Liverpool may get an answer over a transfer, if interest in Ayari solidifies.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Alexander IsakLiverpool FC
