Luke Young Considered Liverpool Move

Aston Villa full back Luke Young is now considering a move to Liverpool this summer. Reports available in the media suggest that Liverpool and Aston Villa have already agreed a transfer fee of £2.75 million for the player, but Young is yet to take the final decision.

Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson, who has been on the looking out for a quality left back, is now considering the 31-year-old England international as his first choice left back, even though his specialty is on the right side of the defense. Villa manager Martin O’Neill used Luke Young on the left side last season when regular left back Wilfred Bouma was injured out and Young impressed playing as a left back.

Now, the deal could be struck if Luke Young decides to take up a new challenge at Liverpool. Otherwise, he would join Aston Villa’s Portugal-bound squad to take part in the Guadiana Cup ahead of the next season.

Though Luke Young is highly experienced, his quality as a regular left back is highly doubtful. He may have had a successful last season at Villa, but Hodgson’s decision of playing someone like Luke Young out of position throughout a Premier League season would arise many questions.
