Liverpool reportedly eyeing 23-year-old 'top player' who 'always' performs superbly

Liverpool have been linked with Ismaila Sarr in recent months.

90Min reported in the summer that the Reds had held talks with Watford over the 23-year-old.

And even after the transfer window shut, Don Hutchison claimed Liverpool were still keeping tabs on Sarr.

“There’s a reason why Liverpool are keeping tabs on Ismaila Sarr,” he said on The Weekend Review.

“They’ve been watching him. They’re scouting him because he’s a real player.”

Sarr’s efforts this month have seen him nominated for the Premier League Player of the Month award for September.

The Senegal international scored three goals this month, taking his tally to four from six so far this season.

Sarr is up against Mohamed Salah, Cristiano Ronaldo, Allan Saint-Maximin, Antonio Rudiger and Joao Cancelo.

Speaking ahead of Watford’s trip to Leeds United, manager Xisco Munoz sung the £63,000-a-week ace’s praises.

“Sarr for us is a very important player and for the Premier League,” he told the Hornets media team.

“He is a top player and always gives a very good performance.

“It’s great for us if he wins the award.

“I think he has respect for everyone and works hard every day.

“He is very good for the young guys and is working to try to give better things in better situations. He always wants to improve.

“We can improve with him and it’s important to talk about him, but the focus is on our team.

“If our team is ready and working together, we can have better results for Sarr and everyone.”
