Liverpool are believed to be lining up a move for Watford winger Ismaila Sarr once again this summer.
The subject of strong interest from Merseyside prior to the arrival of Diogo Jota last summer, the Senegalese ace seems to have remained on the radar at Anfield.
Sarr was the scourge of Jurgen Klopp’s side at Vicarage Road back in February 2020 as the 23-year-old netted twice to end an 18 game Premier League winning run.
According to a report from 90min, as cited by Liverpool FC News on Twitter, a move could be on the cards.

The report claims Liverpool are ‘ready to pay up to £40million’ for Sarr and adds that Klopp has ‘long been an admirer’ of the 34-times capped star.
Following relegation from the top flight and interest from the Reds, the winger hailed as ‘fantastic’ by John Barnes stayed in Hertfordshire and scored 13 Championship goals alongside 10 assists last season.

Valued at £19.8million and under contract until 2024 at Vicarage Road (Transfermarkt), spending £40million on Sadio Mane’s compatriot would represent reasonable value.
Capable of playing across the frontline, Sarr would provide maximum versatility to Klopp’s ranks.
Credited with strong finishing and dribbling ability, the Senegalese star certainly possesses the fundamental attributes to flourish at Anfield.
