# Liverpool interested in signing Doku

Liverpool are interested in signing exciting Anderlecht star Jeremy Doku in the summer of 2021, according to [Het Nieuwsblad](https://www.nieuwsblad.be/), as translated by [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/liverpool-will-undoubtedly-youngsters-doorstep-reds-following/).

The 17-year-old has impressed in Belgium this season, [scoring three goals and registering four assists](https://sportwitness.co.uk/liverpool-will-undoubtedly-youngsters-doorstep-reds-following/) in the league.

The Reds were [linked](https://talksport.com/football/670270/liverpool-sign-jeremy-doku-jurgen-klopp-sadio-mane/) with a move for Doku in the past, but a deal failed to materialise.

This latest [update](https://sportwitness.co.uk/liverpool-will-undoubtedly-youngsters-doorstep-reds-following/) claims that the Reds will ‘undoubtedly’ consider a move for him, however, although he could cost €20 million.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

Sealing a move for Doku could be shrewd business by Liverpool, having once viewed him as a [long-term replacement](https://sportwitness.co.uk/liverpool-will-undoubtedly-youngsters-doorstep-reds-following/) for Sadio Mane.

By the time next summer rolls around Mane will 29, at which point Jurgen Klopp might be planning for long-term life without the Senegalese.

Mane may well still be in his prime at that point, of course, but Klopp will surely want to have a replacement lined up in advance, rather than panic buy further down the line.

The fact that Doku has been linked [before](https://talksport.com/football/670270/liverpool-sign-jeremy-doku-jurgen-klopp-sadio-mane/) suggests there is legs in the story and he could be an exciting addition, not having to come in and shine immediately, allowing him time to grow as a player at Anfield.

A spell in the academy could see the youngster become accustomed to his new surroundings, eventually seeing himself be more of a fixture in the first-team squad later down the line.

Klopp has the chance to build a dynasty at Anfield, but that will only be achieved through long-term planning, with Doku potentially playing a role in that.
