Liverpool to challenge Barcelona in the race for African star

Liverpool have reportedly joined Barcelona and PSG in the race to sign midfielder Jean Michael Seri.

The 26 year old is one of the most sought after players in Europe at the moment and Barcelona had a bid rejected for him during the summer transfer window.

Scouts from Liverpool have reportedly been watching the player in action this season and will continue to do so. Seri is likely to leave Nice in the near future.

It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will make a move either in January or at the end of the season, however they will have to be aware that if they waste time, there is a good chance that the player will end up joining another club.

Seri has recently returned to action from injury and at this stage of his career, he will surely be feeling that the time is right to leave Nice and take up a fresh challenge.
