Liverpool and Everton compete for transfer of VfB Stuttgart winger Jamie Leweling

Liverpool and Everton are both pursuing a transfer for VfB Stuttgart forward Jamie Leweling as the transfer window approaches its 11 p.m. September 1 deadline. Liverpool remains in the market for a recognized right-winger to address gaps in its attack following the departure of Mohamed Salah. While AS Roma has reportedly submitted a bid of 30 million plus a 5 million bonus, no formal agreement exists with the German club. Leweling, 25, has recorded 31 career goals and provides versatility across the front line. Liverpool must weigh the potential signing against constraints regarding non-homegrown roster spots and the player’s lack of experience playing outside Germany. Richard Hughes and Andoni Iraola are tasked with finalizing additions within the final 48 hours of the window.
