Liverpool join race to sign Arsenal target Noa Lang

Liverpool are set to compete with Arsenal in the race to sign Club Brugge attacker Noa Lang next year.

The Dutchman was heavily linked with a move to Leeds United this summer, but they were priced out of a transfer.

Lang has since made his international debut for Netherlands, and Brugge are said to demand at least £35m for him.

The Gunners are reportedly plotting a mid-season approach for the attacker, but it appears that they could face stiff competition.

The Reds are also interested in the former Ajax man amid the uncertainty over the futures of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

Both players have 20 months remaining on their contracts, and the Reds have yet to make progress over renewing their deals.

They are optimistic of doing so in the future, but are also preparing a contingency plan in case there is a potential setback.

Lang bagged 17 goals and 11 assists for Brugge last term. He has continued the fine form with four goals and five assists.
