Transfer Talk: Three players Liverpool have been linked with this week

Kai Havertz

Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo report that Klopp is plotting a club-record £107million bid for fellow German Kai Havertz.

The midfielder made his debut for Bayer Leverkusen at the age of 17 and has since become the club’s star player, registering 17 Bundesliga goals last term.

It’s claimed the 20-year-old, who has racked up 126 appearances for Bayer and is a regular in the Germany squad, would be a replacement for Adam Lallana, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

A bid of £107million would eclipse the Merseyside’s previous record transfer – £75million they paid Southampton for Virgil van Dijk in January 2018.
