Liverpool are plotting a swoop to sign exciting Swiss international attacking midfielder Johan Manzambi from Aston Villa, according to reports via the Sun. Manzambi joined Villa in the summer as part of a newly revamped attack alongside Nicolas Jackson and Ibrahim Mbaye. The youngster began his career in his home country with 17-time Swiss Super League champion Servette before joining Freiburg in 2023, where he progressed through the academy ranks at U17, U19 and Freiburg II. The attacker made his debut for the German club in August 2024 and quickly became an indispensable presence in the lineup. He came into the limelight last season, where he provided 16 goal contributions to help the club secure a European spot.
