Liverpool are eyeing up a double swoop for Arsenal pair Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, according to Football Insider.
The Reds have been linked with Saka in recent days, with the Gunners trying to tie him down to a new deal.
This latest report claims that he and Martinelli are both targets, however, as Liverpool look at long-term transfer options.
Martinelli has caught the eye this season, scoring 10 times, including twice at Anfield in the Carabao Cup.

Saka and Martinelli could be shrewd additions by Liverpool, considering their long-term potential and current worth. Saka’s versatility down the left flank may appeal to Jurgen Klopp, especially with a back-up to Andy Robertson required this summer.
The teenage Englishman has scored three assists and added six assists this season, highlighting his end product. That’s more goals than Robertson (one) has managed, and the same number of assists, albeit sometimes when playing on the wing.
Meanwhile, Martinelli’s all-action style would fit into Liverpool’s attack, with the 18-year-old possessing a Luis Suarez-esque low centre of gravity, tenacity and natural talent.
He could be an excellent signing in terms of adding squad depth and being a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, with his 10 goals this season across all competitions highlighting the potential he has.
