Liverpool fans notice what Khephren Thuram and Manu Kone did on international duty
Liverpool supporters have the feeling something is else brewing on the transfer front after Khephren Thuram and Manu Kone were spotted together - once again - while joining up for international duty.
After making Brighton playmaker Alexis Mac Allister their first summer signing, Liverpool will continue their charge for further additions in the engine room before reporting back for pre-season training.

However, their ability is already recognised in the UK.
