Sky Sports: Liverpool in the race to sign Premier League forward

Liverpool is reportedly in the race to sign Brentford winger Kevin Schade, according to a Sky Sports report. The Germany international has made a strong start to the 2026/27 Premier League season, scoring three times in five matches and helping Brentford to remain unbeaten in their opening five games. With Brentford and Arsenal also monitoring his situation, Liverpool's interest appears to be the strongest among the major clubs.

Schade, 24, has a contract with Brentford until 2025 and has scored 25 goals in 119 appearances for the club. Brentford are keen to improve the winger's terms and secure his future, particularly as he becomes more important to Thomas Frank's team. Liverpool's interest in Schade could be influenced by head coach Andoni Iraola's plans for his squad.

With the club preparing to face Brentford away and host Brighton in the coming weeks, the contract situation between Brentford and Schade may provide further clues about the club's priorities. For now, Liverpool has not made a formal move for Schade, but his involvement in their transfer targets will likely be closely monitored.
