Hope you're well!

In 2018 I recall Liverpool were very close to signing Jeremy Doku when he was I think 16yrs old.
Any chance we could go back in for him?
Do you know why Liverpool backed out of that deal - looks talented.

Much appreciated

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool attempted to strike a deal for Jeremie Doku (RW/LW) but dropped their interest in the kid because of a misunderstanding about him going to see Chelsea (which turned out to be his sister not the club). There was a fear that Anderlecht would face further sanctions over past issues and an approach by Milan about the player saw them ask €20M. The situation has now changed and offers may be listened to after he has had a good season - but any deal is likely going to need a one or two year loan back to Anderlecht. This is where it gets difficult and would cut Milan out of a deal. Clubs are going to be less likely to want to tie funds up in such a way. When he turns 18 his agent will be declared and that could be an issue that I don't want to address here. I am not aware of another approach by Liverpool at this time but at the right price there could be well be interest.}

Apparently we were interested in resigning him Ed but there was another misunderstanding when he went to visit his cousin Arsenal.

Did that actually happen tho with the whole Chelsea sister thing?! haha.

{Ed002's Note - That is what happened.}
