Liverpool’s interest in Birmingham City's Nathan Redmond has been heightened ahead of the January transfer window, as talks between the player and his club regarding a new deal continues to stall.
The Daily Telegraph report that Brendan Rodgers has been targeting the inventive winger for the last 12 months, as he has progressively enhanced his reputation in the Championship after becoming Birmingham’s second youngest ever player behind Trevor Francis.
Redmond was reportedly set to be offered a new deal by the club back in September, but Birmingham City’s reluctance to meet his terms has frustrated the 18-year-old, who could now seek a January move away from St Andrews.
A number of Premier League clubs reportedly hold interest in Redmond, including Premier League champions Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, but the Anfield club currently leads the queue. Brendan Rodgers’ penchant for gifting young and talented players a chance in his first team - as he has done with Raheem Sterling and Spaniard Suso - may present a more attractive offer for Redmond, as he considers his options.
The England U19 international has just 18 months remaining on his current deal, which is still the player’s first professional contract.
