Sources: Fit-again Liverpool sensation Harvey Blair gets green light for January loan move
Liverpool winger Harvey Blair is a loan target for a number of EFL League One, Belgian and Danish sides in January, sources have told Football Insider.
The 20-year-old is back fit now after five months having recovered from a knee injury picked up during pre-season.
The Reds are willing to loan out the youngster in the January transfer window so that he can work on his match fitness and get valuable first-team experience away from Merseyside.
Clubs from the English third tier as well as top-flight outfits on Belgium and Denmark have registered interest in the academy star.
The attacker scored five goals and notched one assist in 18 appearances for Liverpool’s Under-21s last season where he played at both left-wing and right-wing.
Blair is highly regarded at the club and made his first-team debut at just 18 in their Carabao Cup win over Preston North End in October 2021.
He was among other young stars selected by Jurgen Klopp to participate in first-team training just days before his crushing injury setback.
Blair was reportedly set for a loan move in the summer transfer window and was on the radar of Scottish outfit Aberdeen as well as League One sides Portsmouth and Reading.
Liverpool have a track record of bringing youth into the senior side including Luke Chambers and Jarell Quansah, both of whom played with Blair in the under-21s last season.
He made his first appearance of the season earlier this month (5 December) for the under-21s as a substitute in the Reds’ 4-0 defeat against the senior Bradford City side in the EFL Trophy.
The first-team sit at the top of the Premier League table after their 2-1 victory against Crystal Palace and next face an under pressure Man United on Sunday afternoon (17 December).
