Boro want to keep hold of their prized signing until at least next summer and have made it clear a breakthrough bid is needed to complete their deal ahead of this month’s transfer deadline.
ES describes Hackney as “a technically gifted defensive midfielder who can move into the center of the pitch and break pressure”. The teenager showed his quality in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Chelsea. Hackney put effective pressure on Enzo Fernandez and £200m Moises Caicedo and were a constant source of energy in the center of the park. He also recorded a fine finish against Middlesbrough at home. It will be interesting to see how well they fare in the second leg at Stamford Bridge. Let’s not forget that Boro are currently managed by Manchester United legend Michael Carrick, who could help the Old Trafford side sign the youngster.
Clearly, Hackney is a defensive midfielder and Liverpool need a long-term solution for the top six places at Anfield. Because Endo is a veteran and Mack Allister is, of course, #8. Do you think Liverpool should make a landmark bid for Hayden Hackney?
If reports in the media are to be believed, Liverpool are one of the clubs interested in signing Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough. According to a recent article published by the London Evening Standard, Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester United and PL champions Manchester City are interested in signing the versatile 21-year-old midfielder.
