Aston Villa and Leeds target Ryan Kent is one of two Liverpool youngsters along with Ben Woodburn being targeted by Hannover.
Reds representatives are said to have been spotted at the Bundesliga club to discuss a move for two of the most exciting youngsters at the club currently.
Ben Woodburn celebrates scoring Liverpool’s second goal during the pre-season friendly match against Athletic Club.
This could come as a blow to Aston Villa, Hull City and Leeds United, who according to the Hull Daily Mail are all interested in signing Kent on a temporary deal themselves.
However, the Championship trio and Hannover could all be left disappointed as Jurgen Klopp has hinted that the 20-year-old could be staying with the first team squad for 2017/18.
“Ryan Kent, I’ve known him for one-and-a-half years and last year he developed unbelievably well and this pre-season is completely different to last pre-season, he’s completely showed up now,” Klopp said.
“So, without paying too much money or the highest transfer fees we have additions in the squad. That’s good.”

Yet with club record signing Mohamed Salah having bolstered an already impressive attacking lineup at Anfield this summer, first team opportunities are likely to be hard to come by for both Kent and Woodburn if they stay.
Plus, Villa, Leeds and Hull could be given a boost by the fact that Wales Online believe it is the Welsh forward that the German outfit have made their number priority to sign.
