Ex-footballer turned TV pundit Jan Åge Fjørtoft has linked Liverpool with a move for German Under-21 attacking midfielder Leroy Sane.
Fjørtoft is building himself a reputation as a transfer insider and insists that Jurgen Klopp’s men will be keen to sign the youngster in the January transfer window.
I expect Liverpool and Klopp go "big time" for Schalke-striker Leroy Sane#LFC

Sane has made 12 appearances for Schalke in the Bundesliga this season, scoring four goals and creating a further three.
He has played left wing, attacking midfielder and right wing, and has been most effective on the right.
All of his goals have come when deployed in that position, as have two of his three assists. Sane didn’t start the season as a first choice regular in the Schalke team, but has started their last five Bundesliga games.
The 19-year-old made his debut for Germany’s Under-21s in September this year, when he created a goal in a 2-1 victory over Denmark. He’s played a further two Under-21 games since and has managed to score three times and assist another goal.
Sane is one of the hottest young properties in European football and Liverpool will almost certainly face competition to sign him in January.
