Recently, British media outlet The Athletic reported that the
Leicester City
and Southampton are interested in taking a loan
Liverpool winger
Ben Doak.
. The 18-year-old Scottish winger's performances last season have attracted the attention of several Premier League clubs, with Leicester City and Southampton showing strong interest.
Ben Doak has shown decent potential since joining Liverpool's youth setup from Celtic in 2022. Despite his limited first-team appearances for Liverpool, he has done enough to attract the attention of some mid-to-lower Premier League sides.
Liverpool are reportedly considering sanctioning Ben Doc to leave the club on loan this summer so that he can get more game time and gain experience. For Ben Doc, he is also eager to show his talent in a new environment and pave the way for his career development.
Liverpool's new manager Slaughter and sporting director Hughes are fully aware of the player's thoughts and they plan to discuss future options with the player after the pre-season. This shows that Liverpool are open to Ben Doc's future development and are willing to make reasonable arrangements according to his personal wishes and the needs of the team.
Ben Doak's current derby price tag is €10 million, which is a considerable amount for a young winger. If he is able to perform well during his loan spell, he may not only help his new owners achieve good results, but may also earn himself more opportunities in the future.
