Liverpool have reportedly ‘held talks’ regarding a possible move for AS Monaco star Aurelien Tchouameni.
The talented 22-year-old is believed to be on the radar of numerous clubs across Europe having flourished in Ligue 1 in recent years.
Already a fully-fledged senior French international, Tchouameni looks to have a promising future at the very highest level.
According to a report from RMC Sport, as cited by The Anfield Talk on Twitter, the Reds are in contention to sign the defensive midfielder.

The report claims that a summer departure for the seven-cap ace ‘seems inevitable’ as Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, Barcelona and Juventus all show an interest.
This season the man described as ‘extraordinary’ by Paul Pogba has earned an impressive 7.36 average Sofascore rating from 21 league outings.
READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT
Valued at £36million and under contract in France until 2024 (Transfermarkt), signing Tchouameni would likely be an expensive venture for any interested party.
However, at just 22 and boasting a range of impressive attributes required to be a top-level defensive midfielder, the young Frenchman would be a worthwhile investment.
Acquiring adequate cover for Fabinho is a priority for Jurgen Klopp moving forwards and the former Bordeaux ace could be the ideal candidate.
