Liverpool are reportedly lining up a move for Sparta Prague teenage striker Adam Hlozek.
The 18-year-old has seemingly been on the Reds’ radar for some time and the club could be weighing up a move during this summer window.
Jurgen Klopp’s side could face competition from West Ham and AC Milan to land the youngster as the German looks to bolster the ranks at Anfield.
This is according to a report from Football Insider, as cited by Anfield Effect on Twitter, claiming a bid could be forthcoming after another scouting trip.

The report claims that the seven times capped Czech Republic international was ‘assessed’ by Anfield staff during a Champions League qualifier against Rapid Vienna on Tuesday night.
Hlozek appeared four times in the European Championships following an impressive domestic 2020/21 campaign.
Despite only featuring on 19 occasions for Sparta, the ace described as a ‘huge talent’ by compatriot Tomas Rosicky ended last season top of the Fortuna Liga goalscoring charts with 15 strikes.

Valued at £15.3million and under contract until 2024 (Transfermarkt), it’s expected it will take bids in the region of £15-20million to prize Hlozek out of Prague.
For that money, Liverpool would be signing a player with immense potential and someone already capable of stepping up to the first-team when necessary.
Not only an out and out central forward, but the Czech teenager also operates on both wings and therefore would provide additional options to Klopp.
As Liverpool begin to clear squad players from their books and bring in funds in the process, at the mooted asking price and with the world at this feet, this deal is surely a no-brainer for the Reds.
