"?Liverpool have set their sights on signing German U21 international Mahmoud Dahoud, with manager Jurgen Klopp placing the 20-year-old at the top of his transfer wish list.
According to "?Liverpool transfer news, the Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder appeals to Klopp's style of play as he looks to reshape his midfield for the 2016/17 campaign, with Dahoud's strengths including dictating from deep, recovery of the ball and an energetic work rate, which has made him one of Germany's rising young stars in the Bundesliga.
The Red's face stiff competition for the £20m-rated midfielder however, with the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United interested in signing the Syrian born player, as well as Manchester City, who will most likely be witnessing large amounts of change under their new manager Pep Guardiola.
It could be argued that Liverpool are in a much stronger position, due to the links they already have with the player, through Dahoud's agent, who is also under contract with Anfield duo Emre Can, a fellow German International, and Samed Yesil, who is on loan at Swiss side FC Luzern.
Very interesting considering the strong links to Zielinski. Many believed LFC would move for both if Joe Allen/Lucas are to be moved on.
A new midfield arrival has been made even more apparent for Liverpool, after news has risen that Joe Allen is yet to discuss an extension on his current contract, which has 14 months left.
Despite recent claims by Udinese's Polish midfielder Piotr Zielinski that he has spoken with Liverpool over a possible move to Merseyside this summer, it has been suggested that Dahoud is the number one choice when the transfer market opens.
Further Liverpool transfer news is that Mainz Goalkeeper Loris Karius has signed for £4.7m, and is undergoing a medical. The 22-year-old is expected to challenge Simon Mignolet for the number one jersey next season, making this Jurgen Klopp's third signing of the summer.
