Liverpool are believed to ‘like’ the look of both Ollie Watkins at Aston Villa and Wolves winger Pedro Neto, as the Reds assess their summer transfer options.
On the day centre back Ibrahima Konate officially became part of Jurgen Klopp’s squad, the attention has turned to other areas in need of strengthening.
Two names on the potential wishlist have come from domestic rivals as 25-year-old Watkins and 21-year-old Neto are both thought to be admired by Anfield officials.
This is according to a report from Goal, as cited by LFC Transfer Room on Twitter.

The report does go on to name Leeds United sensation Raphinha, Leicester City ace Harvey Barnes and the previously linked Ismaila Sarr as other options.
Watkins enjoyed a superb first campaign in the Premier League having arrived from Brentford last summer, scoring 14 goals and registering another five assists.

Klopp will certainly be hopeful of adding at least one additional attacking option before the transfer window is complete.
Following the success of the arrival of Diogo Jota last summer, the club will be hoping to replicate a similar deal if possible.
Ideally a player capable of operating across the frontline, any further incomings may still have to wait until the likes of Xherdan Shaqiri, Harry Wilson and Divock Origi can be moved on.
