Liverpool have been urged to avoid signing Chelsea duo Mason Mount and Conor Gallagher by former Premier League striker Troy Deeney. The Reds are understood to be desperate to bolster Jurgen Klopp's midfield at the end of the summer and have been linked with the pair.
Borussia Dortmund starlet Jude Bellingham is another name that has been linked with a move to Anfield, though his eye-watering price tag is proving to be an issue. Other alternatives have begun to be tipped to join since reports that they had pulled out of the race for Bellingham.
According to The Times, Liverpool are considering alternatives to the England international and Gallagher has been one identified. The Cobham graduate has struggled for regular starts at Stamford Bridge and has been linked with a move away, as has Mount.
