Liverpool’s first ever signing under Arne Slot is set to be this Premier League midfielder. The transfer madness has officially begun! 😳

Alvin Ayman, a promising young talent from Wolves, is on the verge of transferring to Liverpool, potentially becoming their inaugural signing of the summer transfer period.

The Daily Mail reports that Ayman, who is versatile enough to play as both a centre-back and a midfielder, is close to finalizing his move to Liverpool.

At just 16 years old, Ayman had his first taste of a Premier League matchday experience last month when he accompanied the Wolves’ first team to their away fixture against Manchester City.

Having joined Wolves from Bradford City’s youth ranks last summer, Ayman featured prominently for both the U18 and U21 teams throughout the past season.

His standout performance in Wolves’ U18 Premier League North victory over Liverpool likely drew the attention of the Reds, prompting their interest in securing his services.

Ayman is anticipated to hone his abilities within Liverpool’s academy with an eye toward eventually joining the senior squad.

Internationally, Ayman represented Wolves’ under-17 team in South Korea at the inaugural International Youth Cup of the K League and gained further recognition by being named a reserve for England’s under-17 team last season.

Liverpool’s pursuit of Ayman underscores their commitment to nurturing young talent in addition to strengthening their first-team roster. The club has a strong tradition of advancing young players to the senior ranks, and Ayman’s prospective signing fits well within their broader strategy of acquiring high-caliber prospects at various levels.

Liverpool is hopeful that Ayman will mature into a senior team player within a few years.
