The options at left-back seem to be getting shorter…
A report from John Percey of the Telegraph on Wolves’ 23-year-old Algerian left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri has shed some light on Liverpool FC’s transfer plans for this summer.
With striker Matheus Cunha looking likely to leave the Midlands club this summer, Wolves are keen to retain their left-back and tie him down to a new deal with two years remaining on his current one. He has played well since Vitor Pereira took up the manager position in December.

So, for anyone wondering “What happened to our interest in Ait-Nouri?”, there’s your answer. Up the won the League title in April Reds.
