"?Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has personally spoken to Croatian starlet Ante Coric about a move to Anfield with Tottenham, Manchester City and Chelsea also interested according to the Daily Mail.
Liverpool have yet to make a bid for the Dinamo Zagreb teen but Klopp's personal meeting with the player has left him 'charmed' by the German's personality according to the report.
Coric, 19, has been likened to Real Madrid midfielder and fellow Croatian Luka Modric for his exquisite technique and impressive passing range and has represented Croatia at every youth level.
Italian media outlet Tutto Mercato Web claim Spurs have stolen a march on the competition and are closing in on a move for the wonderkid.
The North London outfit have reportedly offered €4m to land Coric and are on the verge of finalizing the deal.
Despite the rumours linking him with Spurs, Coric revealed that Pep Guardiola has made advances to bring the playmaker to Manchester City this summer.
"The season with Dinamo was good," the in-demand midfielder told reporters recently.
"And I heard that Manchester City and Guardiola want me. Let them mention my name in the future too!
"There's some truth in that, but I'm not going to analyse it too much right now."
