The latest Liverpool transfer news and rumours as the Reds are being credited with an interest in Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze by a former Manchester United scout

Eze, 26, has a reported PS68 million release clause in his contract, which comes into effect during the summer transfer window. Despite scoring just once this season in a winless Palace team, the attacking midfielder is reputedly still receiving attention from clubs in the Champions League.

Brown, who has also scouted for Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, and West Ham United, believes Eze would be better suited to play for a top club than remain at Palace, akin to Michael Olise.

"I've heard there are questions about Eze's consistency," Brown told Football Insider. We know what he's capable of; he's shown he can be top quality, but he needs to show it every week.

"I know the top clubs - Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool are all interested in a move, and they're keeping a close eye on him. If you can feed him, he'll thrive. If he's not getting that at Palace, he'd be getting it at the top clubs.

"With no disrespect to Palace, the players will be focusing on their own performances without also having to think they need to feed Eze. I think the type of team he has to be in is one of those top clubs to help him hit the top level.

"If you're a talented player at these types of clubs, they'll happily feed you the ball, but they also expect you to do the business consistently. That's what the scouts will be looking for when they're watching him at Palace."
