Sofyan Amrabat’s 'preferred club' emerges
Liverpool have been dealt a blow in their reported transfer pursuit of Sofyan Amrabat.
The Reds have been heavily linked with a move for the Fiorentina midfielder over the last couple of months. Amrabat starred for Morocco on their way to the semi-final of the World Cup in Qatar.
Those performances for his country have led to increased speculation around the player’s future. As well as Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur have also been previously credited with an interest in the player.

Now, according to a fresh report from France, a different club could be in the running for Amrabat’s signature. It has been claimed by Foot Mercato that Atletico Madrid could make a move for the midfielder.
The report goes further to say that Amrabat himself prefers a move to Atletico as opposed to any other club. It has been claimed that the player feels that a move to the Spanish club “ticks all the boxes” of what he wants from a transfer.

Liverpool told to bid for 'perfect signing' Moises Caicedo
Liverpool have been told they need a player like Moises Caicedo as speculation over a January move for the Brighton & Hove Albion star gathers pace.
The Reds are in desperate need of fresh legs in the centre of the park and of the multitude of midfielders to be linked with an Anfield switch, Caicedo's name is one that keeps cropping up.
The Ecuador international has done little to play down the rumours either. In fact, he fuelled them by seemingly 'liking' a tweet that suggests he would like to join Jurgen Klopp's side.
Brighton, however, are unlikely want to part ways with Caicedo, and their CEO Paul Barber recently insisted they had not received any offers. He said: "I'm pleased to say we haven't had any. Maybe they haven't got my email because I haven't seen any."
Whether Liverpool do get in touch with Barber and Brighton this month remains to be seen. But the Reds have been instructed to do so.
Speaking on ESPN, former USA international Janusz Michallik has outlined why the 21-year-old Caicedo would be the perfect signing for Klopp, whose team head to Brighton on Saturday looking to close the gap on the top four.
