Liverpool are heavily backed to prioritise a transfer for long-term target Yves Bissouma who is linked with a move away from Brighton in the near future.
The Mali international midfield man has been a top name on the shopping list for Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp who has been scouting the market for a fresh face to bolster his first-team roster at Anfield.
Gini Wijnaldum’s move away from Merseyside in this summer’s transfer window to sign for Paris Saint-Germain has left Liverpool one influential player short in the midfield department following which Bissouma’s name has been linked with a move to the Premier League giants.
Reports from The Daily Express claim that Jurgen Klopp’s camp are keeping tabs on the 24-year-old Brighton star first-teamer who is currently having to deal with some off-field concerns in order to force through an exit from the Amex next summer.
Brighton have stood firm on the pricing demands for sanctioning Bissouma’s sale with Graham Potter and Co. keen on paid a fee in the region of £40 million to lose their midfield asset.
