Liverpool are planning a fresh raid on Southampton by targeting Sam McQueen.
Four of the five players that have made the move from St Mary’s to Anfield in the past three years have become first-team mainstays for the Reds this season.
And reports suggest that Jurgen Klopp is set to revive the club’s interest in the South Coast side’s prize assets with a move for promising left-back McQueen.
Claude Puel has already trialled the defender on seven occasions, including last month’s draw with Manchester City and a Europa League outing against Inter Milan.
The Daily Mirror claim that Liverpool are exploring the possiblity of signing the 21-year-old on a free transfer next summer when his current Saints contract expires.
Southampton will be entitled to compensation should McQueen move to Merseyside for nurting the player’s development before the age of 24.
