Dominic Solanke is a player in demand, with Steven Gerrard’s Glasgow Rangers, West Ham United, Crystal Palace, Huddersfield Town and Fulham all reported to be interested in the Liverpool striker.

According to talkSPORT, Liverpool striker Solanke is set to join Rangers on loan in the January transfer window.

The Sun has claimed of interest from West Ham United and Crystal Palace in the 21-year-old striker.

According to The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 60, Sunday, November 18, 2018), Huddersfield manager David Wagner and London club Fulham are interested in Solanke – who earns £25,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com (click here to read more).

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, though, does not seem to have made a decision on the immediate short-term future of Solanke.

While the youngster is struggling for playing time at Anfield at the moment and is unlikely to establish himself in the Reds’ first team anytime soon, Klopp does not appear to be overly eager to send the former Chelsea prospect out on loan in the January transfer window.

Klopp told Liverpool’s official website on whether Solanke can benefit more from training with the first team at Melwood or heading out on loan: “In the moment, there is no alternative to it. We will see.

“How you can imagine, we talk about that with the players first so they don’t have to watch boring press conferences to know what I think about them.

“We will see what happens. But we want to help Dom so he can help us. That’s the target.”
