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.
