LIVERPOOL 'EDGE AHEAD OF TOTTENHAM AND MAN UNITED' IN BID FOR BRUNO FERNANDES
Liverpool appear to be moving ahead of Tottenham and Manchester United in the bid for Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes.
The Sporting Lisbon star is at the centre of a transfer tug of war between the trio of English clubs after a stunning season in his homeland.
He scored 31 times in 50 appearances and on Sunday lifted the inaugural Nations League after victory over Holland in Porto.
His future appears set to be in England, and Liverpool could be the most likely destination, according to reports in Portugal.
Tottenham are believed to be holding off entering a bidding race with the future of Christian Eriksen unresolved, claim Correio de Manha.
They are also looking at the possibility of Real Betis star Giovani Lo Celso.
Liverpool could make the most of the indecision in north London, with Fernandes an admirer of the style of play under Jurgen Klopp, the Portuguese outlet says.
That puts them ahead of rivals Manchester United in the battle for his signature.
The 24-year-old has emerged as one of the hottest properties in European football after just two seasons at Sporting.
He won his maiden senior international cap in 2017 and was part of the Portugal side that exited last year's World Cup in the last-16.
