Liverpool ponder £75m bid for Brighton pair White and Bissouma

Liverpool are eyeing Brighton pair Ben White and Yves Bissouma.

The Seagulls managed to keep hold of 22-year-old centre back White despite Leeds United being keen to turn his successful loan move into a permanent one. The England prospect even signed a new deal on the south coast meaning any January transfer could incur a hefty fee, says the Sunday Mirror.

Meanwhile, Bissouma, 24, is also believed to be wanted by Arsenal and Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has received ‘glowing reports’ about his ability in a box-to-box role.

White is tipped as an option to ease the Reds’ injury problems at the back while Bissouma is being talked about more frequently as a result of Gini Wijnaldum’s current contract situation.

The pair could cost Liverpool around £75m all together. It remains to be seen if the club will see it as a sound investment in the squad’s future.
