Liverpool trail Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea in the betting to sign the Napoli forward.
Popular bookmakers BETVICTOR have listed Liverpool as 6/1 third favourites in the race to sign Napoli forward Dries Mertens this summer.
The Belgium international is one of Europe’s hottest properties, having played a key role for Napoli last season, racking up an impressive 22 goals and 12 assists in 49 appearances in all competitions.
Reds boss Jürgen Klopp will be desperate to add further firepower to his ranks at Anfield this summer, and Mertens could be just the ticket.

BETVICTOR have installed Liverpool as the 6/1 third favourites in the race to sign the 31-year-old this summer, behind joint 4/1 favourites Tottenham and Chelsea, and ahead of Real Madrid at 10/1 and Manchester City at 12/1.
Mertens would be an incredible signing for Liverpool, should Klopp manage to bring him to Anfield this summer, and he possesses the kind of quality that could very well take the Merseyside outfit to that elusive next level.
The Belgian could be available for around €50 million (£44.2 million), according to Italian media outlet Area Napoli, and in today’s day and age, that would represent decent value for money for Liverpool.
