Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp could be forced to fast-track his plans of signing Rennes’ highly-promising starlet Jeremy Doku, claim reports from The Daily Express.
The Merseyside giants are staring at a squad selection crisis ahead of the winter transfer window with star forward duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane set to leave the Anfield fold for a significant period owing to AFCON commitments.
With attacking options limited at Klopp’s disposal, it has been speculated that the German will prioritise bringing in a fresh face for his ranks when the transfer window reopens and the 19-year-old Doku is a top name on his shopping list.
The Belgian starlet has earned rave reviews for his displays in the Ligue 1 and talk of a move to England’s top flight for the youngster has gained ground of late with Liverpool credited with a strong interest in securing his signature.
Mane and Salah both turn 30 later this campaign and young blood in the form of Doku could prove to be an excellent piece of transfer business for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool come January.
