Liverpool reportedly eyeing South American star capable of James Milner’s versatility

According to Italian outlet Tuttomercato, Genoa winger and Uruguayan international Diego Laxalt is attracting plenty of interest from Liverpool.

The 24-year-old is a fine utility player as they come, as he is able to play in every position on the left wing of the pitch.

Torino and West Ham are also monitoring Laxalt, and he is very much available having just one year remaining on his current deal.

Following a solid outing last term in the Serie A, Genoa made his loan move from Inter Milan permanent.

Liverpool currently have new man Andrew Robertson and Alberto Moreno as their primary left-backs, but the two have to challenge James Milner, a makeshift in the position for regular football.

With lots of football available next term, Laxalt represents another quality option the Reds can sign for the role as they seek reliable covers.

He featured as a left wing-back for Genoa last term, scoring once and laying 4 assists in 36 Serie A games.
