"Liverpool have made an offer in a bid to beat Manchester United to the transfer of Sheffield Wednesday wonderkid Yisa Alao. The highly-rated 17-year-old left-back has already played three games for Wednesday's senior side, and it looks like he could be quite quickly snapped up by one of the Premier League's elite. Liverpool and Man Utd are both said to have bid for Alao, according to the Daily Mail,"
"with the Reds clearly doing their best to try to beat their arch rivals to what could be an exciting signing. Alao is still inexperienced and probably wouldn't be going straight into the first-team at either Liverpool or United, but he certainly looks like a talent for the future who'd be well worth investing in.

Liverpool and Manchester United have both placed bids for 17-year-old left-back Yisa Alao of Sheffield Wednesday. Alao has made three senior appearances and is regarded as a long-term prospect who would not necessarily join either first team immediately. Manchester United's reported bid is £450,000 while Liverpool's offer amount remains unconfirmed. Sheffield Wednesday sit bottom of the Championship on -7 points after sanctions for breaches of payment obligations, increasing the club's financial pressure and the likelihood of selling promising players. The move would provide the player with greater stability and a pathway for development at an elite club.
