Liverpool Leading Race for Mateus Mane

Liverpool are reportedly the frontrunners to sign Wolves attacker Mateus Mane, attracting interest from Arsenal and Manchester United.

Despite the relegation of his current club, Mateus Mane is destined for the Premier League. Liverpool have held 'positive' initial discussions with his representatives and are expected to submit a bid later this year, valuing the 18-year-old at approximately £50m.

Wolves manager Rob Edwards is resigned to losing the teenager, who has been tipped to become a 'superstar' by Paul Merson. The young forward will soon have a perfect audition for a move to Anfield when the Reds face Wolves twice in four days at the beginning of March.
