Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham are all keeping a close eye on Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Hugo Larsson, according to Sky in Germany.
The 20-year-old has featured prominently at the start of the season, starting 11 games and scoring 3 goals.
Fans on X believe Larsson would be a good signing with some even suggesting there is a potential for a double transfer with the Reds also reportedly interested in teammate Omar Marmoush:

Liverpool are in the market for a holding midfielder
Arne Slot’s side failed in their attempts to persuade Martin Zubimendi into leaving Real Sociedad in the summer and it was subsequently reported that the club did not have an alternative lined up for the Spanish international.
However, sporting director Richard Hughes and his recruitment team have had several months to consider other targets and appears as if Larsson is on their list of options.
A replacement for Endo is needed
With the Reds top of the Premier League table, the failure to secure Zubimendi’s signature hasn’t affected the club’s performances too much, with Ryan Gravenberch having stepped up to the plate.
Even so, Slot is clearly not a big fan of Wataru Endo. The Japanese international would have been sold in the summer if the right suitor was found.
With that being the case, it is more than likely that someone like Larsson would be brought in to replace Endo.
