Oliver Burke left Nottingham Forest for Red Bull Leipzig in the summer transfer window.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was not happy to have missed out on Oliver Burke, according to The Sun (print edition, page 55, Friday, September 2, 2016).
It has been reported by the British tabloid that Liverpool boss Klopp wanted to sign Burke from Nottingham Forest in the summer transfer window.
However, the 19-year-old winger left Forest for German club RB Leipzig for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be about £13 million.
According to The Sun (print edition, page 55, Friday, September 2, 2016), Klopp gave his scouting team both barrels after missing out on the teenager.
It has been reported that the Liverpool manager had earmarked Burke as one for the future.
Burke is a very talented and promising young winger, and he would have been a good signing for the Reds.
The youngster scored two goals and created 11 chances in 16 Championship appearances for Forest last season.
The winger scored four goals and created six chances in five league matches for the Reds before his move to Bundesliga outfit Leipzig in the summer transfer window.
