Liverpool: Fans react as Reds respond to rejected Jamal Lewis offer

Liverpool are eager to bring Jamal Lewis to Anfield this summer and have decided to respond to Norwich’s rejection of their initial bid.

The Reds offered £10m for the left-back’s services but the Canaries almost immediately knocked it back. According to Andy Hunter of The Guardian (relayed via @LFCTransferRoom), Liverpool are preparing to respond with a new and improved bid in the hopes of convincing the recently-relegated side into selling up.

Lewis has been a target of Jurgen Klopp’s for months as the Liverpool manager hopes to be able to strengthen his Premier League-winning squad. With Yasser Larouci looking for a move away from Anfield, Andy Robertson is the only recognised senior left-back, and the Reds are in huge need of reinforcements in case of injury problems next season.

Many Liverpool fans are hoping to see the club agree a deal for Lewis. One fan has commented on the update, urging the club to ‘go get him’ as he is the ‘perfect player’ for the Reds.

The 22-year-old would likely be more than happy to serve as back-up to first choice Robertson and has years ahead of him to develop in a title-winning side. James Pearce recently reported that Norwich are looking for double the Reds’ initial bid of £10m.

£15mn absolute max offer. If that’s rejected then we should walk or try to get Lewis to get in a transfer request
