Liverpool have made an approach to bring AS Monaco winger Maghnes Akliouche to Anfield, according to Sky Sports.
Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has made it clear that he wants the Reds to make quality additions.
The Merseyside club are now targetting Akliouche but could face competition from Paris Saint-Germain for the France international.
The Liverpool target was at the World Cup with Les Bleus but only made one appearance – a seven-minute cameo against Iraq in the group stages.
The Reds want more attacking reinforcements this summer and a concrete move for Akliouche could be on the cards.
The 24-year-old bagged seven goals and 11 assists in 43 games last term.
While the Monaco star his primarily a right winger, he can also play through the middle, and his passing and dribbling could be huge assets for Liverpool.
Akliouche’s willingness to tackle and contribute defensively could also be some of the reasons Iraola is keen on recruiting his services.
Signing the Frenchman could be great for the Reds as their new manager looks to hit the ground running next season.
However, they have to pip PSG, who have sent a couple of bids to the principality club so far.
Monaco knocked back their latest bid, which is believed to be in the region of £34 million, and Liverpool have to bring something juicy to the table.
