Virals: Liverpool ‘monitoring’ Wolves full-back Rayan Ait-Nouri
Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs ‘monitoring’ Wolves full-back Rayan Ait-Nouri.
The 20-year-old has been attracting plenty of interest from across Europe following a string of fine displays this season.
In fact, the Reds got a taste of the starlet’s talent recently when keeping a red-hot Mohamed Salah quiet for the majority of the Molineux clash.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, as cited by Anfield Edition on Twitter, the Anfield club are taking notice of the young Frenchman.

The report claims that Ligue 1 club Angers inserted a 50 percent sell-on fee that could see Wolves miss out on a large sum as Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham, Barcelona and Manchester City all join Liverpool in their admiration.
So far this season the ace described as ‘phenomenal’ by Tim Spiers has earned an impressive 6.97 average Sofasore rating from nine Premier League outings.
READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
Valued at £16.3million and under contract in the Midlands until 2026 (Transfermarkt), this would be an expensive move for what is likely to be a third choice left-back option.
Albeit capable of playing in more advanced roles, the five-cap Under 21 ace is predominantly a full-back.
Jurgen Klopp already has the luxury of rotating Andy Robertson and Kostas Tsimikas in the position – adding another would be relatively unproductive.
That said, Ait-Nouri is a supremely talented operator and if a move was to be forthcoming in the future, the Reds should at least be assessing their options.
