Ahead of the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, Liverpool are now reportedly seriously interested in signing a former Everton player who’s one of their biggest regrets.
Liverpool transfer news
The Reds head to Goodison Park with the chance to move as many as nine points clear at the top of the Premier League in what would see them take their biggest step yet towards glory under Arne Slot. Everton, meanwhile, have been reborn under David Moyes and will make things far from comfortable for their rivals as a historic rivalry bids farewell to an equally historic ground.
Although things could be better than ever under Slot on the pitch after tonight, the same can’t be said for life away from the action. From controlled, ruthless football, Liverpool are in an anxious, frantic position off the pitch with Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold all set to depart as free agents at the end of the season as things stand.
Now approaching the middle of February, the Reds have been forced to plan for life without the trio in what would be the worst-case scenario this summer. And that has seen a fresh name linked who could replace Salah.
According to TeamTalk, Liverpool are now seriously interested in signing Mohamed-Ali Cho from Nice this summer in a move that would welcome the winger back to the Premier League five years after he swapped Everton for Angers in an academy transfer.

The Reds could make their move…
Letting the 21-year-old go remains one of Everton’s biggest regrets and one which could now come back to haunt them in the most frightening fashion at their Anfield rivals.
A player on the rise who can play all across the frontline, Cho only joined Nice from Real Sociedad last summer and has seemingly already done enough to move onto bigger and better things.
“Powerful” Cho is one to watch
As Salah moves closer and closer to the Anfield exit door, Liverpool must begin to consider their options and Cho may well be among those options. Still just 21 years old and certainly familiar with life in Merseyside, the winger is starting to improve on the output front with five goals and three assists to his name throughout the current campaign a potential sign of things to come.
Described as a player who has a “powerful” left foot by EK Scouting, if Liverpool are to replace one of the best players in the world when cutting in on that side then Cho certainly possesses the correct trait.
Whether the rising Nice star is ready to step into Slot’s strongest side remains in question, however. The former Everton man is certainly one to watch, but that output of his must continue to reach new heights if he is to earn a Premier League return.
