Liverpool were linked with a move for the Mexican international in the summer transfer window.

According to Goal, citing reports in A Bola, Liverpool will continue to monitor Porto star Hector Herrera ahead of the January transfer window.

The Reds were linked with the Mexican international over the summer transfer window but a move to Anfield never materialised.

That failure is likely down to the fact they secured a move for Newcastle United midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.

The Dutchman has been a big hit on Merseyside but it seems Jurgen Klopp may still be looking for more options to the centre of his midfield.

Goal, citing A Bola, reports that they are continuing to track the midfielder ahead of a potential move in the winter transfer window.

They are likely to face competition for his signature, though, with Serie A side Napoli also having been linked in the summer and likely to remain interested.

They will both have to pay a big price should they make a move, with the report claiming that his release clause is set at £35 million.

That is a high cost, to say the least, and it will be interesting to see if this rumour turns out to be true when January rolls around.

If Liverpool are still in the title race at that moment in time, perhaps they will consider a big purchase the perfect way to give their title aspirations a boost.
