Liverpool latch onto Sunderland target

Liverpool are reportedly monitoring Leeds United star Sam Byram.

It is believed that the Premier League outfit sent scouts to Ashton Gate during midweek to watch the 21-year-old winger in the Whites’ 2-2 draw at Bristol City.

Byram, who has been at Elland Road since he was 12-years-old, scored three goals in 39 appearances in all competitions for the Championship side last season.

After making his Leeds debut under former manager Neil Warnock back in 2012, the Thurrock-born ace has been ever present in the Whites’ squad, first starting at right-back before switching to a more offensive role down the wing.

However; this is not the first time Byram has been linked with a move away from Elland Road this summer, with Premier League rivals Sunderland also interested in the youngsters services.
