Liverpool should consider a summer move for the Roma ace.

According to a report from Italian media outlet Corriere dello Sport, Roma will be willing to sell Cengiz Under in the summer, if they fail to qualify for the Champions League this season, and Liverpool should be taking a look at the young winger.

Jürgen Klopp has one of the most dangerous attacking line-ups in world football, but it could be argued that the German needs to add more quality to his wide attacking department, with more competition required for Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.

And Under could be just the ticket for the Reds.

The 21-year-old has been in fine form this season for Roma, chalking up six goals and nine assists in 25 appearances in all competitions.

He can play anywhere along the front-line, and his direct and energetic style of play makes him ideally suited to Klopp’s setup at Anfield.

Liverpool play with an incredibly high tempo, and they rely on pacey forwards to implement their counter attacking style.

Under would fit right in with the Reds, and although he might not be a regular starter straight away, he would provide Klopp with another top class option in attack.

According to the Mirror, the Turkey international is valued at around £50 million, so Liverpool should not have any problem matching that price.

And should Klopp bring him to Anfield, it could turn out to be a signing of real significance for the Reds.
