Liverpool favorites to sign Ashley Young

Young celebrating for Aston Villa

Liverpool are looking to make a splash in the transfer market this summer in order to return to the Premier League's elite group of clubs. Wingers are a high priority and the club look to be targeting the Aston Villa wide man.

Young has been targeted by a few clubs, most notably Liverpool's rivals, Manchester United, but Liverpool look to be favorites to seal the deal. United are heavily in debt and it is unsure if they will be able to produce the money needed to sign the player. Damien Comolli is a big fan of Young and believes he is what the club need in order to move forward. However, Aston Villa are said to be unwilling to sell their star.


The asking price is believed to be around £14million which should be able to persuade Villa to sell. This would be a great signing for Liverpool, especially after signing Andy Carroll in the summer, they need wide players who can deliver quality crosses into the box. Liverpool has been notorious for lacking in the wide areas and it is certainly a position the club need to improve on.
