Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City chase Feyenoord standout Givairo Read
On a bustling evening in the offices of the Premier League clubs, the name Givairo Read is getting louder. The twenty‑year‑old wing‑back of Feyenoord is attracting the attention of three of England's top clubs, while scouts are meticulously updating their notes. The rumor is spreading rapidly through the British media.
Thirty million euros asking price
A report from TEAMtalk says that Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City are closely monitoring Feyenoord's right‑back. The Reds appear to be the first to have officially confirmed their interest, but the other two clubs are also actively searching.
The competition among the three Premier clubs is described by the source as intense. While Liverpool is focusing on a possible solution to the problems on the right flank, Arsenal and Man City want to keep their own options open for the upcoming transfer window.
Feyenoord would hold firm to an asking price of thirty million euros for Read. Nottingham Forest and AS Roma have previously held talks, but reached no agreement. The lack of a deal keeps the young wing‑back in the Netherlands for now.

Despite the rumors, Read continues to perform in the Eredivisie. In seven league matches he has already provided five assists, a statistic that has also been noted across the North Sea. His contribution to Feyenoord's attack remains undiminished.
Liverpool sees Read as a potential replacement for Jeremie Frimpong, who has not yet convinced in the right‑back position. Ronald Araújo, originally a centre‑back, is currently not considered as an alternative. The Reds hope to increase defensive stability with Read.

TEAMtalk does not rule out that the transfer could take place in January to Anfield, depending on developments at the three English clubs. However, the Feyenoord player has not been called up for the Dutch national team, but has reported for the Netherlands U21 for the Euro qualification against Norway, Slovenia and Bosnia‑Herzegovina.
