Arne Slot’s Liverpool are surging on (apart from a small miss in the FA Cup). The Dutchman’s attacking football has established itself as the most effective in the Premier League. The Liverpool manager is now looking for a player who can vary between games on the wings, while also stepping in as a striker. This player has now been identified. The fact that it is a player Everton strongly regrets they let go, puts a tip on the whole story.
Especially when it comes to what Teamtalk’s source describes as “one of Everton’s biggest blunders in recent times”. Youth player Cho was brought from PSG to Everton’s academy in 2015 after impressive performances in a youth tournament in Marseille, but Everton were never able to keep the player.
Five years later, the young player was lost to Everton. Cho went to Angers in 2020 and signed a professional contract with the French club. Everton wanted to keep the player, but lost in the negotiations.
Two years later, Cho left for Real Sociedad for €12 million, then moved to Nice in 2024. In Ligue 1, Cho has impressed greatly, according to Teamtalk, Liverpool are strongly considering signing the French 21-year-old this summer.
Liverpool are always on the lookout for young players they believe could become top players in the future, Cho is placed in this category. It’s an added bonus that city rivals Everton are still resentful when they think about the player they let go in 2020.
