Yasin Abbas Ayari has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Liverpool, with the Premier League side said to be eyeing a move for the Brighton midfielder. Speculation is gathering pace as the club looks to bolster its squad ahead of a crucial second half of the season. Chelsea and Nottingham Forest have not withdrawn their interest and could still influence the outcome. So far this season, Liverpool are steady at both ends (1.68 goals scored per game, 1.32 goals conceded per game).
