Liverpool assistant boss Pep Lijnders is understood to be keen on signing Cody Gakpo who has courted serious interest from Manchester United in the recent past.
Gakpo scored two goals at the World Cup in his two outings so far and his stellar displays for Dutch outfit PSV Eindhoven have made him a top name on the shopping list of several Premier League giants.
According to a report from The Liverpool Echo, it is claimed that Liverpool have been credited with a strong interest in moving in for the highly-rated winger as they face competition on the transfer front from Manchester United and Leeds.
The Reds’ front line has shaken off their stuttering start to the season but injuries to Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota have curtailed the options at Jurgen Klopp’s disposal despite the signing of Darwin Nunez in the summer window.
Liverpool are currently on a break while the World Cup is taking place in Qatar and the rest period has provided ample time for Klopp and his scouting team to eye up reinforcements from the market.
