Manu Kone has already made Liverpool stance clear amid transfer links

An old coach of Manu Kone has revealed that Liverpool are his favourite club and that the Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder once wore one of their kits during a trial.

Reda Bekhti, a former academy trainer at Paris FC, detailed an encounter with the highly-rated France U21 international, who has been increasingly linked with a move to Anfield in recent weeks after reports in Germany suggested that Liverpool's new sporting director Jorg Schmadtke was eyeing reinforcements from the Bundesliga.

Kone enjoyed a successful campaign with Monchengladbach despite Daniel Farke's side finishing outside of the European places. And Reds fans have already made their feelings known to the 22-year-old ahead of a proposed summer move.
