Liverpool have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Real Madrid forward Jese Rodriguez.
Jurgen Klopp was reported to have targeted the 23-year-old as part of his Anfield overhaul plans but faced stern opposition from Arsenal.
Jese had been told by Zinedine Zidane that he was free to leave the Bernabeu this summer due to a lack of guaranteed first-team opportunities but both the Reds and their Premier League rivals have missed out.
L’Equipe claim that Paris Saint-Germain have acted swiftly to have a £21 million offer accepted by the European champions.
