Liverpool are considering a summer swoop for former Chelsea man Bertrand Traore, according to reports.
The Daily Mail claims that the winger is one of several names on Liverpool’s radar ahead of the summer transfer window.
They state that the club had scouts watching Lyon’s 3-0 win over Marseille earlier this month, with Traore the man in their sights.
Chelsea do have a buy-back clause for Traore, so any move for the player could spark some interest from London.
Failing that, the Blues also hold a sell-on clause and will profit from any move that sees the player leave Lyon.
Everton are also believed to be monitoring Traore, who is valued at £40m by the French side.
Traore was always highly rated at Chelsea but has flourished after leaving Stamford Bridge.
The regular game time in Ligue 1 has helped the Burkina Faso international form a great relationship with Memphis Depay, another Liverpool-linked player, in the Lyon attack.
