Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been urged not to prioritise a move for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Jude Bellingham or Leicester City's Youri Tielemans as a "better fit" is available.
Both players have been on the Reds' radar for some time and continue to be linked with a switch to Anfield, as has Real Madrid starlet Eduardo Camavinga.
Klopp is known to be a big fan of England ace Bellingham, who is still only 18, but getting him out of Dortmund could prove an expensive task.
