Liverpool are amongst a host of top sides across the continent registering interest in the highly-rated FC Schalke youngster Matthew Hoppe, according to reports from 90Min.
Besides Jurgen Klopp’s Merseyside outfit, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United are keen on the 19-year-old forward heading into this summer’s transfer window.
Hoppe’s incredible run of showings have not gone unnoticed by those who remain involved in his pursuit, reports suggest, with the American striker having found the back of the net on five occasions in just eight top-flight outings.
Schalke’s poor run of form, one which sees them sit at the bottom of the Bundesliga ladder, could likely result in their relegation and might force the German club to part ways with their in-demand starlet when clubs come calling in the summer.
It would be interesting to see whether the Merseyside Reds walk away with another of Schalke’s prized assets after having completed the signing of long-term target Ozan Kabak on deadline day in January as the Turkish defender arrived at Anfield in a short-term loan deal with an option to buy.
