Liverpool 'scouts' casting an eye over talented Croatian central defender amid transfer interest

Liverpool had scouts present in the second division of German football football to cast an eye over Hamburg centre half Mario Vuskovic, according to a report from Bild.

Premier League club Wolves also hold an interest in the Croatian defender, who is highly rated. Vuskovic signed for Hamburg following a two-season loan spell from Hajduk Split.

Hamburg missed out on promotion back to the Bundesliga last season after losing in the play-offs. The 20-year-old, according to the report, has now been watched by Liverpool.
