Liverpool and Arsenal are reportedly set to go head-to-head for the signature of Ajax sensation Jorrel Hato. As reported by TBR Football via Teamtalk, the Reds have expressed their interest in the 18-year-old Dutch wonderkid.
Hato is highly regarded by clubs across Europe with Arsenal being one of his long-term admirers. The Gunners have tracked the young defender for a while now but could now competition from Premier League rivals Liverpool. Arne Slot's side are reportedly chasing a new left-back to take over from Andrew Robertson who has not been at his best this season. The Scotsman is 30 now and is showing signs of his age which has impacted his game.

Hato, who is equally adept at playing as a centre-back, has done really well this season playing as a left-back. The Netherlands international has made 17 appearances across competitions for Ajax this season, scoring thrice while producing three assists.
As claimed by the aforementioned report, Liverpool scouts have watched the youngster in action several times this season. The long-term Arsenal target is expected to cost around £25 million, which seems pretty much a bargain for a player of his age and potential.
The Reds are reportedly considering other options at left-back as well. Wolverhampton Wanderers star Rayan Ait-Nouri and Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez are also among the options they are considering.
Liverpool and Arsenal learn asking price for red-hot Premier League forward
Brentford have reportedly slapped a £60 million price tag on reported Arsenal and Liverpool target Bryan Mbuemo. As reported by Football Insider (via The Hard Tackle), Thomas Frank's side are looking to price the 25-year-old out for a move in January.
Mbuemo has been on fire this season having scored eight goals in nine Premier League games. He is only behind Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, who has 11 goals to his name, in the race for the Golden Boot.
Liverpool and Arsenal have reportedly both registered their interest in the in-form Cameroon international. However, they will have to fork out a huge £60 million fee if they have to sign him in January, with his contract expiring in 2026.
Mbuemo, who was born in France but represents Cameroon internationally, has been one of Brentford's best players since joining them in 2019. Since his move from Troyes, he has made 211 appearances for the Bees having scored 58 goals and provided 42 assists.
