Premier League striker can’t believe what he’s heard about Liverpool

Premier League striker can’t believe what he’s heard about Liverpool West Ham United’s Michael Antonio has shared his reaction to Liverpool’s failed pursuit of Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia after the two opted for Chelsea over the Reds.Speaking on The Footballer’s Podcast, his BBC show with fellow Premier League striker Callum Wilson, Antonio claimed Liverpool’s transfer deals had been “crazy”.”You know what madness is? During this thing I thought about what was going on between those two,” the West Ham man said.“These bosses have something!”There’s a lot of bickering, it’s madness.”Literally, Liverpool go in there and it’s like, ‘Bid, bid, bid, bid, and Chelsea come in and say, ‘No, he’s my player now’ and they get him,” Antonio said of Caicedo.

Report: Liverpool believe a £70m Premier League player is their most realistic signing at the momentMount the cup3 hours ago”They took him because Caicedo is a huge Chelsea fan. There was a picture of him wearing a Chelsea shirt when he was younger and sitting with his mother and when he signed for Chelsea they recreated it, it was a beautiful moment.”Then Southampton midfielder Lavia again accepted 60 million pounds from Liverpool.”Now I hear that Lavia wants to go to Chelsea too!”Antonio looks as shocked as the Liverpool staff and fans. After all, it is very rare for two important targets to both choose a direct rival within a day or two.Caicedo officially became a Chelsea player two days ago, while Lavia’s signing is all but confirmed, just pending an official announcement. Antonio was right, so what’s next?Jurgen Klopp has just two weeks left to find an alternative couple and the rumor mill has been spinning like crazy for 48 hours.It has been reported that after the disappointment of Caicedo and Lavia, the Reds asked if Real Madrid duo Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde were available. Fluminense midfielder Andre Trindade was then again linked with a move to Anfield, as he did earlier this summer.The search for a new midfielder is likely to become hectic for Liverpool. Only time will tell who Klopp can land on transfer deadline day.
