New Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola is reportedly a massive fan of one of his former Bournemouth players, the exciting young Brazilian forward Rayan.
The 19-year-old has made a strong start at Bournemouth, really stepping up under Iraola's guidance in the latter half of the season. Now, with Iraola taking the reins at Anfield, there's speculation about a potential reunion.
While a move isn't confirmed, iNews suggests it's a possibility to keep an eye on, noting that Iraola is said to be "huge fan" of Rayan. This aligns with Liverpool's potential need to refresh their attack, especially with Mohamed Salah's future uncertain and Cody Gakpo facing form challenges.
Rayan arrived at Bournemouth with a strong reputation from his time at Vasco da Gama and has quickly made his mark in the Premier League. He's already bagged five goals in his first 15 appearances for the Cherries, showcasing his talent alongside fellow young star Eli Junior Kroupi.
Bournemouth might find it tough to hold onto such promising talent, particularly with Iraola potentially eyeing a reunion with players who impressed him at the Vitality Stadium. Reports from TEAMtalk also indicate that other top clubs are monitoring Rayan's superb recent form.
