Liverpool are keen on signing Assan Ouedraogo
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Liverpool are keen on acquiring the services of Assan Ouedraogo, as Arne Slot looks to reinforce his squad after a disastrous 2025/26 campaign. They consider the German international a perfect fit for the Dutch manager’s system and their project.
