# Liverpool: Aurelien Tchouameni contact emerges

**[Liverpool](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/), and by extension transfer chief Julian Ward, are interested in signing highly-rated Monaco midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni this summer, according to journalist Santi Aouna.**

### The Lowdown: Tchouameni excels for Monano

The 22-year-old has emerged as arguably one of Europe’s most exciting midfielders, having impressed hugely for Monaco this season.

Tchouameni has made 32 Ligue 1 appearances so far in 2021/22, averaging 2.5 tackles and 2.8 interceptions per game ([Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/353423/Show/Aur%C3%A9lien-Tchouam%C3%A9ni)) and even being hailed as ‘[extraordinary](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/man-utd-pogba-tchouameni-transfer-26720036)‘ by Paul Pogba and ‘[incredible](https://www.footballinsider247.com/liverpool-could-seal-incredible-tchouameni-signing-after-journalists-january-update-pundit/)‘ by Paul Robinson, who said he’d be a ‘[good fit](https://www.footballinsider247.com/liverpool-could-seal-incredible-tchouameni-signing-after-journalists-january-update-pundit/)‘ for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool.

The Frenchman has been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/liverpool-fc-news/liverpool-reds-race-for-aurelien-tchouameni-heats-up-further/) with a move to the Reds in the recent past and another exciting transfer claim has now emerged.

### The Latest: Journalist shares Reds contact

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Santi_J_FM/status/1518923506595110912?s=20&t=4-NBg50hm5GsWW6ZaroVJw) on Tuesday, [*Foot Mercato*](https://www.footmercato.net/a2011483116332592776-liverpool-veut-coiffer-le-real-madrid-au-poteau-pour-aurelien-tchouameni) journalist Aouna confirmed Liverpool’s interest in signing Tchouameni in the summer.

“Contacts have already been initiated between the parties,” he [said](https://twitter.com/Santi_J_FM/status/1518923506595110912?s=20&t=4-NBg50hm5GsWW6ZaroVJw), claiming the player himself is “interested” in a move to England.

### The Verdict: ‘Good fit’ indeed

Midfield is an area of the pitch that Klopp should be looking to strengthen this summer, with a freshness required, in terms of age.

Tchouameni could be the perfect acquisition by Ward, in that respect, coming as a hugely exciting option, such is the quality of his all-round game.

The France international is a colossal figure off the ball, as mentioned with his defensive statistics, but he is also strong technically, enjoying an [87.2% pass completion rate](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/353423/Show/Aur%C3%A9lien-Tchouam%C3%A9ni) in the league this season. He looks tailor-made to thrive in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/), given its physical, technical style.

Tchouameni’s long-term potential is great and he is someone who could be seen as a long-term replacement for the likes of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson, but also be a key figure immediately.
