Liverpool in talks to sign Sweden U21 defender Augustinsson


The left-back, who recently said some players in England are signed for a "sick amount of money", has been in talks with the Reds for some weeks is expected to seal a move soon

Liverpool are in talks over the signing of Sweden Under-21 star Ludwig Augustinsson, Goal understands.

The 21-year-old hit the headlines earlier this month when he described England's Under-21 side as "a little overrated" - a claim backed up when Harry Kane and his Three Lions colleagues finished bottom of their group in June's European Championship.

The Copenhagen left-back also said "Some players go for such sick amounts of money in England and is a bit more expensive than what they are worth."

He will now be hoping not to become one of those as Liverpool look to make their sixth signing of a busy summer so far.

Talks between the Reds and Copenhagen, and with the player's representatives, have been held for the past couple of weeks and a deal is thought to be close.
