Arsenal and Liverpool are just two of the clubs in the race for Atletico Mineiro defender Emerson, according to reports.<\/p>\n
The 20-year-old has garnered the attention of some of Europe’s biggest clubs since his move to the Brazilian side last April.<\/p>\n
A Brazil Under-20 international, the right-back is contracted up until 2022.<\/p>\n
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have identified Emerson as a potential summer signing to boost their defensive ranks.<\/p>\n
Premier League side Watford are also interested in a move for the youngster.<\/p>\n
Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan and Valencia are just some of the names also linked with a move.<\/p>\n
However, injuries to the backlines of both Arsenal and Liverpool have meant both clubs may need to delve into the transfer market.<\/p>\n
Hector Bellerin is set to miss up to nine months after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament during the 2-0 win over Chelsea.<\/p>\n
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez are also out for the Reds, although neither injury is long-term so a summer move could fit into Jurgen Klopp’s plans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
