Liverpool are favourites to sign Jadon Sancho, according to Jan Aage Fjortoft on Twitter.
The 19-year-old is one of the most highly-rated young players in Europe, having shone for Borussia Dortmund over the past two seasons.
Sancho is angling for a move away from the Bundesliga giants, however, with a January exit even mooted.
The likes of Manchester United and Barcelona have been linked with the £90 million-rated winger, as have Liverpool.
Viasport presenter Fjortoft took to Twitter to talk up the Reds’ chances of signing Sancho, saying:
From a very good source in Germany: Klopp and Liverpool favorite to get Dortmund-player Sancho. Sancho wants to leave the club already in January.

This is an exciting development, with Fjortoft normally regarded as a reliable source.
Sancho would be perfect for Liverpool, possessing the prodigious talent to be a huge success from the off, but also representing a long-term investment.
Whether or not a January move would happen remains to be seen, but either way, snapping him up would feel significant, especially ahead of United.
More should become clearer over time, but Liverpool fans have every right to feel excited.
