Liverpool and Leicester City are well stocked in the goalkeeping department at present.

Jurgen Klopp can call upon Brazilian number one Alisson Becker, the second most expensive shot-stopper in footballing history, with the experienced Belgian international Simon Mignolet warming the bench at Anfield.

Leicester boss Claude Puel, meanwhile, is in the enviable position of being able to call upon either Kasper Schmeichel or Danny Ward.

Nonetheless, this has not stopped the Premier League duo from looking to the future with the highly-rated Dominique Youfeigane in demand.

According to FootMercato, the Guingamp goalkeeper is on the radar of both Liverpool and Leicester while Brighton and Hove Albion are also understood to be circling.

Brighton manager Chris Hughton looks on during a Pre Season Friendly between Brighton & Hove Albion and Atletico Madrid at Amex Stadium on August 6, 2017 in Brighton, England.

The France youth international, who is only tied to Guingamp on a trainee contract, has also attracted the interest of French giants Marseille and Monaco with his future seemingly lying away from the Brittany-based club.

If Youfeigane tuned into Liverpool’s FA Cup defeat to Wolves on Monday night, he will surely have been intrigued by the number of youngsters given a chance by Klopp at Molineux.

Rafael Camacho, Curtis Jones and 16-year-old Ki-Jana Hoever all featured for the Premier League leaders, highlighting Klopp’s willingness to promote the next generation.
