Liverpool have been named as leading ‘admirers’ of Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski.
The Reds have been extensively linked with the 27-year-old previously but any concrete move is yet to materialise.

Now a fresh report from Italian outlet CalcioMercato has named the Anfield club as long term suitors for the Polish ace.
The report states that whilst Gli Azzurri are ‘calm’ over the future of the 66-cap star due to a recent contract renewal, they also recognise the interest from ‘top clubs’ such as Liverpool.
So far this season the man hailed as a ‘complete midfielder’ by Carlo Ancelotti has scored five times and provided five assists in 17 Serie A appearances.

Valued at £45million and under contract in Naples until 2024 (Transfermarkt), opportunities to play elsewhere won’t be around forever for Zielinski having spent his entire career in Italy.
Predominantly a forward-thinking midfield operator, the Pole would add a new dimension to a balanced Liverpool outfit.
As the long-term future of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain remains unclear beyond this campaign, Jurgen Klopp should certainly keep a close eye on Zielinski.
