Liverpool have reportedly joined the race for Brentford winger Kevin Schade, although they face rival interest from the Gunners. Schade is among the players nominated for September’s Premier League Player of the Month alongside Liverpool pair Alexander Isak and Jeremy Jacquet.

Liverpool’s reported interest remains at an early stage, and there is no suggestion that a deal is close. But Liverpool’s recruitment over recent years has repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to target proven Premier League talent when the right opportunity emerges.

Schade is a nice target but not what Liverpool need right now While it would be nice to have Schade at Liverpool, there are more pressing squad concerns. However, as good as the Uruguayan has been out of position, he’s not a right back, and this experiment may at some point yield some unsatisfactory results.
