Liverpool's hopes of finalising a deal for RB Leipzig's Dominik Szoboszlai have been boosted by the midfielder's previous praise of manager Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds endured an ultimately frustrating campaign last season, missing out on Champions League football and failing to land any silverware. Their ageing midfield was cited as one of the main flaws by fans and critics, with Klopp quickly addressing the issue this summer by capturing Brighton star Alexis Mac Allister.
But more reinforcements will be required amid reports that youngsters Fabio Carvalho and Rhys Williams are heading out on loan, taking the number of confirmed Anfield outgoings to six since the season finished. And Hungary captain Szoboszlai has been outlined as the next major target.
