Liverpool’s interest in KAA Gent’s Momodou Sonko signals their forward-thinking approach to squad development under Arne Slot. The 19-year-old, likened to Bukayo Saka for his playing style, has captured attention as a potential addition to Liverpool’s attacking arsenal. With a contract running until 2028, Sonko’s value aligns with the club’s strategy of investing in promising talent while maintaining financial prudence.
Liverpool’s focus on youth has been evident, with players like Harvey Elliott, Conor Bradley, and Jarell Quansah forming a young core. Sonko’s addition could provide depth and dynamism without the pressure of being a direct replacement for Mohamed Salah, whose future at the club remains uncertain.
Slot’s January plans will hinge on Liverpool’s Premier League and Champions League standing, as the board may push for strategic signings to maintain competitiveness. Sonko, alongside other targets like PSV’s Johan Bakayoko, represents a step toward building a squad capable of both immediate impact and long-term success.
Whether Sonko’s move materializes will depend on negotiations and Liverpool’s ability to balance squad depth with top-tier acquisitions. Either way, his profile fits the bill of a player ready to grow into the Reds’ ambitious future.
