It has been revealed that Ashley Young is now a priority target for Liverpool for the summer transfer market.
It is said that Liverpool made a last-minute effort to sign the England international on the final day of January’s transfer window, but Villa were unwilling to sell.
According to the Telegraph, Villa’s hopes of tying Young down to a club-record £80,000 weekly contract evaporated when he announced that he will not extend his contract.
Villa are hoping to attach a £20m price tag to Young, who has notched up eight goals and eight assists for Villa this season, but their position is weakened by the fact that his contract expires at the end of next season, at which point he could depart for free.
Kenny Dalglish, Liverpool’s caretaker manager, who is currently negotiating an extension to his own contract, believes that Young’s creativity would help bring the best out of new signing Andy Carroll, but he will face tough competition for his signature.
Tottenham are looking to bolster their own Premiership credentials and Manchester United are hoping to recruit a creative midfielder this summer.
