Liverpool spotted scouting their next Alexander Isak

Liverpool's scouts have been observed watching AIK's promising young striker, Kevin Filling, who many speculate could be the club's next Alexander Isak. The 17-year-old Swedish international has been impressing in 34 games across all competitions for AIK, scoring 11 goals. Filling, who primarily plays as a number nine, has also shown versatility by being utilized in various positions such as wing and right-midfielder.

With other clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Juventus also monitoring Filling, a potential deal for him could reach a fee of €20m-€25m, possibly including bonuses and a sell-on clause. While Filling's valuation might seem steep for a 17-year-old, AIK has no incentive to sell their promising homegrown talent at a lower price. If Filling continues his current trajectory, his price tag could be justified for any club willing to invest in the future.
