Liverpool scout has been watching Fulham winger Kevin this week

Liverpool returned to winning ways with a victory against Aston Villa at Anfield on Saturday.

The reigning Premier League champions have struggled this season and Arne Slot has endured a difficult time at the club after comfortably guiding them to the league title last season.

The Reds are facing four consecutive defeats in the Premier League, which has pushed them down the table when they were comfortable at the top at one point.

However, the victory against Villa, thanks to goals from Mohamed Salah and Ryan Gravenberch, put Liverpool back in a respectable position in the league from where they can challenge for the title, although Arsenal are still seven points ahead and leading the race at the moment.

Liverpool need more depth in attacking positions

Much has been made of the depth of Liverpool’s squad this season and its weakness, particularly when it comes to wide attacking positions.

Players like Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah are some starters on each wing and behind them there is a lack of depth in the team.

In order to resolve this issue, Liverpool are keeping tabs on Fulham winger Kevin, according to Football Insider.

The club’s chief scout, Barry Hunter, was on hand at Craven Cottage on Saturday to watch Fulham beat Wolves 3-0.

According to the report, Hunter was at Craven Cottage to keep a close eye on Kevin.

Liverpool officials have been impressed with the way Kevin has played this season and the way he advances the ball, aided by his dribbling quality, has caught their attention.

Due to the lack of wide attacking options on the bench, it is clear why they are considering signing a winger. Kevin’s ability to play on both wings adds even more weight to why they particularly consider him.

The interest is new and at an early stage as they would surely like to see more of the winger before deciding, but Kevin is someone on their radar.

Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo is another player who has impressed the Reds’ hierarchy and his early season form has increased the number of suitors looking to sign him.
