Liverpool ‘not entertaining’ any late bids for Scotland star Ben Doak

Scotland star Ben Doak has been in fine form on loan at Middlesbrough this season.

The former Celtic kid has three goals and seven assists from 24 appearances since arriving at the English Championship club.

Liverpool have reportedly turned down offers exceeding £15million for Doak, with the Premier League giants insisting the winger will remain on loan at Middlesbrough for the duration of the league season.

Both Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town are understood to have made bids for Doak at the start of the January transfer window, but Liverpool are not entertaining any offers at this stage.

While speculation has placed a £30million valuation on the 19-year-old, the Reds are relaxed about his future and have no intention of cutting his development short.

Doak, who joined Liverpool from Celtic aged just 16 in 2022, has been enjoying an impressive loan spell at Boro, quickly becoming one of the most exciting players in the Championship under manager Michael Carrick.

His pace, direct style, and ability to influence matches have made him a standout talent, with many tipping him for a bright future.

Doak will be hoping that his current form can continue as he looks to be included among Steve Clarke’s Scotland squad when they face Greece in the UEFA Nations League A play-off next month.
