Liverpool are once again being linked with a move for Barcelona contract rebel Ousmane Dembele.
The 24-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and at present is no closer to extending a deal at the Camp Nou.
Reds’ boss Jurgen Klopp is believed to be a huge admirer of the French winger and could look to strike.
As ever many Kopites have had their say to the reports on social media and this one has raised many questions.
What’s this obsession with such a injury prone player

Honestly, I'd rather resign Djimi Traoré than this bloke.

So far this season Dembele has made eight appearances across all competitions – completing 90 minutes twice and missing 20 games through a combination of injury and illness.
READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
Valued at £27million (Transfermarkt), signing the French World Cup winner for nothing or at a small fee would be a superb capture on the face of matters.
Liverpool look well placed to be the beneficiaries of a contract impasse and would be suitably bolstering the attacking ranks in terms of quality.
However, a particularly checkered injury history makes the star a high risk to any squad.
With Klopp already having to handle the fragility of Naby Keita, Thiago and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, adding Dembele to the mix is surely one step too far.
