Arsenal And Liverpool Eye £30m Japan Keeper: Do Either Need A January Deal?

Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly monitoring Aston Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki following his impressive form, according to reports cited by Vital Arsenal. The 24-year-old Japan international originally signed for Villa from Parma in a £30m permanent deal. Despite the interest, Aston Villa reportedly expect any eventual sale to eclipse the current £70m record fee for a goalkeeper.

Writer Rohit Sarkar argues that neither club needs to make a move in the January transfer window. Sarkar notes Arsenal already have David Raya and Illan Meslier, while Liverpool have Alisson Becker and Giorgi Mamardashvili. However, the writer suggests Liverpool could be the more logical long-term destination to eventually replace Alisson.
