Liverpool target Atalanta star Ederson

Liverpool are keen on signing Ederson from Atalanta in the January transfer window, according to Football Insider. 

The defending Premier League chsmpions are on the hunt for a new midfielder, and in Brazilian star Ederson, the Reds believe that they would get a top player.

Journalist Pete O’Rourke said: “Yeah, he’s been linked with the Premier League for a number of years now.

“He’s a top player, Ederson, there’s no getting away from that. He’s really impressed at Atalanta in Serie A, and in the Champions League and Europa League as well.

“So he has got the ability, I think, to go to the Premier League and be a success. He’s a physical, athletic midfielder, also good in possession as well.

“So I think he would tick a lot of boxes for Liverpool right now.

“It does look like Liverpool are in need of a bit of physicality and energy in that midfield and in the team in general so I’m sure he’s somebody who’s maybe on their list.

“But as you said there’s other clubs who are looking at him.”
