Liverpool can land instant upgrade on £29m star

Liverpool are reportedly monitoring Brentford’s right-back Michael Kayode as they look to strengthen rotation at Anfield. With Dominik Szoboszlai and Curtis Jones used at the position during the 2025-26 campaign, the club has explored multiple options. Liverpool signed Ronald Araujo on a season-long loan that can cover center-back and right-back, but injuries to Conor Bradley and limited impact from Jeremie Frimpong have left a gap. According to CaughtOffside, Kayode sits at the top of Liverpool’s watchlist, with Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle, plus Serie A clubs including Juventus, also tracking him. Kayode was signed from Fiorentina in 2025 for €17.5m and is valued around €40m, while Brentford is expected to demand €60-65m for serious talks.
