Liverpool might be given a second chance to sign Emre Mor as his current club, Borussia Dortmund, consider letting the youngster leave on loan.

According to the Sun, Reds manager Juergen Klopp is considering the option to bring the 19-year-old to Anfield initially on loan, but with a view to a permanent deal.

This comes just a year after Klopp – who the Daily Mail said was very keen on Mor – was beaten to the forward’s signing by Dortmund, who signed him on a five-year deal for £7.4m (Kicker).

The teenager was signed from Nordsjaelland in Denmark – the country of his birth and whom he represented at youth level – but he is now a fully fledged Turkey international.

Mor has 11 caps for his country to date, scoring one goal, and was part of their squad at Euro 2016 where he played two of their three matches.

The attacker struggled for game time, however, after moving to Dortmund and made 19 appearances – mostly from the bench – in all competitions in 2016/17.
