Liverpool is set to finalize a transfer deadline day deal for a record-breaking player following Arne Slot’s decision.

Liverpool are set to approve a loan move for young forward Jayden Danns on transfer deadline day. The 19-year-old has made an impression since coming through the ranks at Anfield, including becoming the youngest player in the club’s history to start a Champions League match against PSV last week. This season, Danns has made four senior appearances, scoring once in an FA Cup victory over Accrington Stanley. With the forward seeking more playing time, Liverpool are ready to send him out on loan for the remainder of the season.

Several clubs have shown interest, with Sunderland currently leading the race to sign him. Other Championship clubs have also been linked, but Sunderland, who sit fourth in the Championship and are firmly in the playoff spots, are now the frontrunners. Danns will likely provide competition for Sunderland’s top scorer, Wilson Isidor.

If the move goes through, Danns could make his debut for Sunderland against Watford on Saturday, though he won’t be eligible to play in Monday’s match against Middlesbrough due to registration timing.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot confirmed last week that discussions are ongoing regarding the futures of several young players, with decisions expected to be finalized as the transfer window draws to a c

lose.
