Liverpool have targeted Aston Villa defender Jordan Amavi as a potential successor to Alberto Moreno.
Doubts persist over Moreno’s abilities following two largely forgettable seasons with the Reds and is expected to be offload this summer.
And reports in France claim Jurgen Klopp has again fixed his attention to the Championship and to the prospective signing of Amavi.
Like Newcastle, who recently sold midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum to Anfield, Aston Villa are acclimatising to life outside of the Premier League this season.
According to Le Parisien, Klopp is targeting Amavi with the 22-year-old catching the eye during Villa’s fall from grace in the English top flight.
A decision on whether Liverpool will actively pursue the France under21 international is expected to be made in the next 10 days.
