Liverpool delegation jets out on Bradley Locko transfer mission – sources
Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Tottenham, West Ham and Crystal Palace are set to watch Brest defender Bradley Locko as they weigh up moves to sign him this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
The six Premier League clubs are sending scouts to cast an eye over Locko when his side faces Reims on Friday (10 May).
The French left-back has been a standout player for the Ligue 1 club this season as they close in on a place in the Champions League.
Brest are aware of the growing interest in the 22-year-old and have given an exclusive mandate to FIFA agent Willie McKay to speak to clubs interested in any of their players ahead of the transfer window reopening.
The French side are bracing themselves for offers to sign Locko and are unlikely to reject any sizeable bids that may come in to acquire his services this summer.
The defender is under contract until 2027.
Liverpool and Chelsea could submit bids to sign Bradley Locko
Locko is expected to be named in the Ligue 1 Team of the Season following his impressive displays during this campaign.
He has been ever-present for Brest, starting in each of his side’s 32 league games and notching three assists.
The left-back only joined the Brittany-based club permanently from Reims last summer after enjoying a successful loan in the second half of last season.
Football Insider revealed on 7 May that Liverpool, Aston Villa and West Ham are all considering making bids to sign Locko this summer.
The defender will now have a chance to impress each of those sides when their scouts watch him in action against his former side Reims.
