Liverpool Are One Of 6 Teams Pursuing 17.6M Rated Norwegian Ace Who Is Tipped To Be The Next Haaland

Liverpool have joined Arsenal, Sevilla, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and Inter Milan in tracking FC Nordsjaelland striker Andreas Schjelderup, according to reports in Spain.

The 18-year-old is believed to have already been the subject of a €4m (£3.5m) bid from Sevilla but Nordsjaelland are said to be holding out for around €20m (£17.6m).

Considering Schjelderup is a young Norwegian forward, the comparisons to Erling Haaland were inevitable, but he is undoubtedly a promising young player.

This campaign, the teenager has scored five goals in 10 appearances for Nordsjaelland, which is already one more than he managed in the entire of last season.

€20m is, however, a sizeable figure for a player that has only very limited first-team experience so Liverpool’s recruitment team will have to judge whether Schjelderup’s talent merits the heavy outlay. If he continues scoring at his current rate, though, demand for his services will only increase by the time the transfer window reopens in January.
