Jurgen Klopp wants to bring two wingers to Liverpool during the summer, according to reports.
A report in the Daily Mail has explained why Liverpool are confident that they will be able to land Bayer Leverkusen starlet Julian Brandt during the summer, and has named the Leicester City prospect that is also on the Reds’ radar.

The Mail reports that Brandt is one of the Premier League side’s main targets for the end of the season as Jurgen Klopp looks to bring two wingers in.

And they are optimistic that they will be able to pull off a deal for the talented 20-year-old – who has scored twice and contributed six assists in the Bundesliga this season – as Leverkusen are well adrift of the European places while Liverpool are still very much in the running for a top four spot.
Meanwhile, it appears that they are also looking much closer to home for another wide-man with the Mail reporting that Demarai Gray has also been attracting their attention in recent times.

Gray, also 20, has been more of a fringe player for the Foxes this season – he has started just five times despite making 18 appearances in the league in total – but he demonstrated his class and potential with a stunning goal in their FA Cup replay with Derby County this week.

Whether their interest arose following the brilliant solo effort is unknown, but if they already had him on their radar then that goal would have surely strengthened their belief that he could be something very special.
