Liverpool have reportedly opened talks to land the signature of the highly-rated Salzburg talent Karim Adeyemi this coming summer.
The 20-year-old German forward has some of the biggest clubs across the continent chasing him heading into the forthcoming transfer window on the back of his stellar run of form in Austria’s top flight.
According to a report from Sky Sports Germany, it is claimed that Liverpool are hoping to fend off competition from Borussia Dortmund for Adeyemi with Jurgen Klopp keen on bringing in the promising youngster.
The Liverpool boss is on the lookout for reinforcements in the final third of the pitch to bolster his ranks ahead of the start of the new campaign as he prepares to part ways with the long-serving Belgian striker Divock Origi.
Origi is on the verge of joining Serie A giants AC Milan on a Bosman deal after snubbing Liverpool’s offer to renew his terms at Anfield beyond the summer when he enters free agency.
