Liverpool are again being linked with Ousmane Dembele.
Liverpool may have already assembled a terrifying attacking trio of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah, but that hasn’t stopped them from being linked to more forwards.
The Reds have even seen Daniel Sturridge and Xherdan Shaqiri impress in limited playing time, whilst youngsters Rhian Brewster, Dominic Solanke and Harry Wilson look to have bright futures.
However, Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele is another name mentioned by The Mirror today, in light of reports from Spain about his future in Catalunya.
RAC1 report that Barcelona are considering selling the Frenchman in January, and Liverpool are again being mentioned as a potential suitor for the winger.
Liverpool have shown already that they will splash out in January for the right player having signed Virgil van Dijk from Southampton earlier this year, and Dembele is a known former target of Reds boss Jurgen Klopp.
Dembele told Four Four Two in 2017 that he met with Klopp before leaving Rennes for Borussia Dortmund, and Klopp was quoted by The Mirror earlier this year as saying that he was ‘interested’ if Dembele was on the market.
Now, Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter to urge Klopp to finally bring Dembele to Anfield, reacting to the reports by suggesting that he would be ‘ideal’ for the Reds and almost a perfect fit.
Others think that Dembele would really be the difference in Liverpool’s hunt for silverware, and even believe cut-price deal could be in the offing if Barcelona still owe money for Philippe Coutinho.
