Monaco midfielder Cesc Fabregas has backed his teammate Aurelien Tchouameni to join Liverpool.
The former Chelsea and Arsenal star will leave the Ligue 1 outfit at the end of the season, having joined back in January 2019. He may not be the only departure, with 22-year-old Tchouameni also heavily linked with a move away.
Both Real Madrid and Liverpool have been heavily linked with the Frenchman, while Chelsea also reportedly hold an interest. Fabregas, though, would prefer to see Tchouameni at Anfield over other Premier League sides.

He said in an interview with RMC Sport : "At the time, I signed with one objective: to save the team, then 19th with 13 points. I took a big risk because relegation was possible.
"When I came, Thierry (Henry) and Vadim (Vasilyev) also asked me to help grow the young people. It was an important point. Today, I feel like I have won the respect and sympathy of this younger generation.
"I hope I have helped. We like each other and I will continue to follow them, exchange with them. I would like to see (Youssouf) Fofana, (Sofiane) Diop or Tchouameni at Bayern or Liverpool!"
Tchouameni joined Monaco from Bordeaux in January 2020 and has made over 90 appearances for the club. He's scored eight goals and registered seven assists in all competitions.
Monaco would likely demand a hefty fee to part ways with the starlet, as clubs across Europe battle for his signature.
