Eight Premier League clubs reportedly send scouts to attend Liverpool vs Strasbourg
Eight Premier League clubs have reportedly sent scouts to assist Liverpool against Strasbourg to scout striker Ludovic Ajorque.
Ajorque has been impressive during his time at Strasbourg, scoring 49 goals in 136 appearances since joining the club. The French striker is a towering striker, standing six-foot-six.
The 28-year-old assisted one of his team-mates in Strasbourg’s 3-0 win at the weekend, and eight Premier League clubs were reportedly present to watch the striker.
It depends sky sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol, who claims Wolves, Everton, Leicester, West Ham, Fulham, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and Newcastle were all watching Ajorque during the game.
It will be interesting to see if any of the Premier League clubs pursue their interest in the coming weeks, with the striker available for around £18m.
His goalscoring record is impressive for a striker who is built to win flicks, pin defenders and be a nuisance in the box, but it’s clear there’s more to his game than that.
The Premier League is extremely physical, so he should have all the attributes to succeed in England.
