Reports in Mundo Deportivo suggest Liverpool are one of the clubs interested in a move for Serbian striker Luka Jovic.
The Serb, on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt from Benfica, has been in terrific form this season, scoring 12 goals in 15 games. This included five goals in a single game against Fortuna Dusseldorf in the Bundesliga. He is currently the top scorer in the Bundesliga having registered nine goals in as many games.
Liverpool are not alone in their pursuit of the 20-year-old, as Bayern Munich and Barcelona are also interested. It is rumoured that Liverpool would have to pay his €45 million (£40 million) release clause to acquire his services.
Jovic was recently called up to the Serbian national squad and featured as a substitute in his nation’s 2-1 victory over Montenegro.
With Divock Origi looking certain to leave Anfield in January, with Galatasaray swooping for a loan move, it would leave Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturridge as the only natural strikers at the club.
Sturridge’s liability to injuries could prompt Jurgen Klopp into a January move for Jovic.
