Liverpool<\/a> are reportedly the strong favourites to sign Brentford forward Kevin Schade, as per TEAMtalk<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Following Mohamed Salah<\/a>\u2019s departure as a free agent, the Reds decided to reinforce the flanks by purchasing Victor Mu\u00f1oz and Bradley Barcola this summer.<\/p>\n Moreover, Andoni Iraola currently has Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa and Rio Ngumoha to deploy on the wings. However, Chiesa has struggled to find his feet in the Premier League<\/a> since joining from Juventus.<\/p>\n On the other hand, Ngumoha is still very young and needs time to develop. As a result, it appears the Merseyside club have started exploring options to sign a new winger.<\/p>\n Now, TEAMtalk<\/em> claim that Liverpool are showing genuine interest in signing Schade and are one of the strong favourites to seal the deal as early as January.<\/p>\n The German has entered the final 18 months of his current contract, and the Bees are keen on keeping hold of him by tying him down to a fresh term. They have already opened talks and are ready to increase his current salary to persuade him to stay.<\/p>\n However, if they eventually fail to reach an agreement with him over the coming months, Keith Andrews\u2019 side are open to letting him leave in mid-season.<\/p>\n Brentford usually play hardball to sell their big assets and are likely to demand a big fee to sell him, with the forward valued at around \u00a330m by Transfermarkt<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n Schade likes to be deployed on the left flank but can also play as a second striker. Furthermore, he can be deployed on the opposite side if needed. The 24-year-old is quick, good in the air and works hard without possession.<\/p>\n After moving to Gtech Community Stadium from Freiburg, Schade initially took time to adapt to the Premier League\u2019s physicality before showing glimpses of his qualities.<\/p>\n He has even enjoyed a promising start this season and has secured his place in Jurgen Klopp<\/a>\u2019s Germany national team for this September\/October international fixtures.<\/p>\n Schade is a Premier League-proven player and could be a shrewd acquisition for the Merseyside club should they eventually manage to secure his services in January or next summer.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSchade to Liverpool<\/h2>\n
