Ex-Liverpool player and current pundit Danny Murphy has tipped the club to sign Youri Tielemans this summer.
Murphy says that he believes Liverpool would love to sign a player like Tielemans, who impressed for Leicester this season.
The Belgian international joined Leicester on loan from French club Monaco in January and caught the eye in the second half of the season under Brendan Rodgers.
He made 13 Premier League appearances for Leicester, racking up three goals and four assists from central midfield – playing alongside James Maddison.
Speaking to The Mirror, Murphy said this:
The big clubs are always looking at what is next and where to improve.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be back which is a big plus, he will practically be like a new signing. Maybe they will let Milner go and one other.
Then coming in, Tielemans has had a good season at Leicester, he can open a team up and I am sure Liverpool would love a player like that.
You have to be careful, obviously supporters always want new signings in, but you can’t bring in too many and upset the dynamic.
The report claims that Monaco are looking for a fee in the region of £40m to let Tielemans leave the club this summer.
Tielemans joined Monaco from Anderlecht in the summer of 2017 for a fee in the region of £25m.
