Liverpool and Tottenham enter race to sign Sandro Tonali’s £55m Italian teammate who has a unique weapon

Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are reportedly among several top clubs monitoring Brentford right-back Michael Kayode ahead of the January transfer window. Spurs are seeking depth at full-back following Djed Spence's summer sale to Inter Milan, while Liverpool reportedly view the 22-year-old Italy international as a top priority target.

Arsenal, Newcastle United, and several Serie A clubs including Juventus are also tracking the defender. However, Brentford reportedly have no desire to part with Kayode mid-season and are expected to demand a permanent transfer fee of at least £51m to £55m (€60m-€65m) to open talks.
