Ben Doak Next Club Odds: Everton Favourites To Sign Liverpool Youngster
Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk are not the only Liverpool players facing uncertain futures.
Indeed, the best betting sites have opened up a market on where Ben Doak will end up next.
The 19-year-old is currently on loan at Middlesbrough, with hopes of breaking into the first team at Anfield next term. However, recent reports suggest Liverpool are ready to cash in on Doak, who joined the club from Celtic in 2022.
The winger has only made 12 appearances for Liverpool to date, and a return of three goals in 24 appearances for Middlesbrough this season is less than he would have wanted.
Doak’s future may lie away from Anfield - but where do betting apps think he will end up next?

Everton In Pole Position To Sign Directly From Rivals
Liverpool do not sell players directly to Everton (and vice versa) very often. The last player to cross Stanley Park was Abel Xavier, who swapped a blue shirt for a red one in 2002.
More than two decades have passed since the rivals traded with one another, but reports this week indicate Everton are mulling over an approach for Doak this summer.
David Moyes has done a magnificent job since returning to the club in January, but he knows Everton need to strengthen their attacking options ahead of next term.
A new wide player is thought to be a priority and a bid of £30m could be sufficient to land Doak, who is priced at 6/5 to join Everton.
Crystal Palace Could Renew Interest In Young Talent
Crystal Palace have been linked with Doak in the past and they could renew their interest in the teenager ahead of next summer.
Palace have a reputation for improving young British players following spells in the Championship, such as Michael Olise, Marc Guehi, Eberechi Eze, Conor Gallagher and Adam Wharton.
However, Palace are in a state of flux at present. Sporting director Dougie Freedman has left for Saudi Arabia and Oliver Glasner is being linked with a return to Germany.
If Palace can keep hold of their manager, a swoop for Doak is on the cards and they are priced at 7/5 on betting apps.
Celtic Still Interested In Scottish Starlet
Doak joined Ayr United as a youngster before being snapped up by Celtic’s academy.
The Hoops were unable to keep hold of him, however, as the lure of Liverpool proved too strong three years ago.
Doak did play two games for Celtic before heading south of the border, and the Glaswegian giants are priced at 7/4 to bring him back to Parkhead.
Celtic would be able to offer Doak the chance to win trophies and play in the Champions League.
Brendan Rodgers’ attacking style of play would suit him, while playing for the Scottish champions would do his standing within the national team set-up no harm at all.
Bournemouth Looking To Add Another Exciting Attacker
Bournemouth have proved themselves to be one of the smartest clubs in the Premier League over the last couple of years.
Their recruitment has been excellent, but the Cherries may have to brace themselves going into the summer with the likes of Antoine Semenyo and Justin Kluivert linked with moves away from the Vitality Stadium.
Bournemouth will look to replace any attackers who do leave the club, which is why it is no surprise to see Doak given a 2/1 shot of ending up on the south coast.
However, much will depend on whether Andoni Iraola sticks around for another campaign as the club’s manager.
Brentford Have Good Relationship With Liverpool
Brentford signed Fabio Carvalho and Sepp van den Berg from Liverpool last summer and they could be about to repeat the trick with Doak.
Thomas Frank’s team are also thought to be genuine contenders to sign the Scotland international should he move on, with football betting sites offering odds of 3/1 on a switch to the Gtech Community Stadium.
Doak would add another option to Brentford’s exciting pool of attackers. The Bees have consistently punched above their weight over the years and Doak would be bound to get plenty of chances.
However, at the moment Brentford are dark horses to land the Scot at the end of the campaign.
Other clubs in the mix include Fulham (4/1), Sheffield United (5/1), Burnley (6/1), Leeds (7/1), Sunderland (8/1) and current loan club Middlesbrough (10/1).
