Liverpool may have been handed a boost in their widely reported pursuit of Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria.
The Reds have been extensively linked with the 25-year-old for some time and a move may well be coming to fruition as the January transfer window fast approaches.
Despite attracting plenty of attention from across Europe, the Anfield club appears to be among the frontrunners to land the Swiss ace.
According to a report from SportBILD, as cited by Sport Witness on Twitter, Zakaria would relish the opportunity to work under Jurgen Klopp.

The report claims that the 40-cap star can ‘leave immediately’ for just €7million (£5.9million).
So far this season the man described as ‘incredible’ by Marcos Rose has scored twice and provided one assist in 14 appearances across all competitions for the Bundesliga club.

Valued at £24.3million and out of contract at the end of the season (Transfermarkt), snapping up Zakaria for the mooted fee would be a bargain buy.
Boasting an array of impressive attributes, the combative Swiss midfielder would add another dimension to a well-stocked midfield department and would perhaps be viewed as a replacement for Gini Wijnaldum.
Regardless of the requirement for fresh faces in the squad, the opportunity to land a talented player for the suggested price cannot be ignored.
