Here’s the full story on Harry Wilson’s potential move to Burnley.
The Clarets want the Wales international on a permanent deal, according to PA.
A fee is yet to be agreed, but there is a degree of confidence a move will happen. A switch would end the winger's 14-year stay at Anfield after he joined the club's under-9s.
Wilson has made just one appearance for the Reds, against Plymouth in the FA Cup in 2017. He spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, playing 35 times and scoring seven goals, but could not help the Cherries avoid relegation from the Premier League.
ANDERLECHT HOPE TO TIE DOKU DOWN TO LONG-TERM DEAL
Anderlecht are hoping teenager Jeremy Doku will sign a new long-term deal with the club amid interest from across Europe, reportedly including Liverpool.
The Reds attempted to sign Doku aged 15 and have tracked his progress since, with the 18-year-old continuing to impress, say Inside Futbol.
He now has less than two years remaining on his deal and Anderlecht are keen to ensure he commits his future to the club to avoid the possibility of the starlet leaving for a cut-price fee.

REDS WEIGH UP KOULIBALY MOVE
Liverpool are contemplating a move for Kalidou Koulibaly, report Le Parisien.
The Napoli star has been linked to Manchester City and PSG, but the Reds are considering the potential for a dominant partnership alongside Virgil van Dijk.

THIAGO WON’T TOUCH ‘THIS IS ANFIELD’ SIGN
As I heard once from Fernando Torres, this remains heavily the place we passed by for a couple of years, four more years. And to touch this symbol we have to deserve it and to win all the trophies we can and so that's why today I will not [touch the sign]. I will respect this tradition.
CARRAGHER: LIVERPOOL DO NOT NEED A NEW CENTRE-BACK
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher insists the club do not need to sign a new centre-back, after Fabinho filled in impressively.
“There has been talk of Liverpool needing a centre-half,” he said on Sky Sports. “Lovren has left, Matip you can’t trust fitness wise, that leaves Joe Gomez.
“Fabinho was outstanding. Normally players who play in a holding midfield role have a great understanding of the game. Fernandinho was excellent for Man City last season. Fabinho was brilliant.
“I think it puts to bed talk of Liverpool needing a centre-half. They’ve got so many midfield players, they’ve got to get them games. If he drops back, it’s another space in midfield for someone.”
REDS AGREE SARR FEE
Liverpool have found an agreement with Watford for Ismaila Sarr, report France Football.
The fee could be in the region of £32-37m for the winger.
A salary of £5.5-6.5m - in the region of £120,000 per week - is also thought to be enough to finalise a deal for another upgrade and additional depth in attack after the signing of Diogo Jota.
DERBY LOOK TO LAND ANOTHER FORMER LIVERPOOL MAN
Having secured the services of Jordan Ibe from Bournemouth, Derby are eyeing another former Liverpool man.
Bobby Duncan is next on the list for the Championship club, according to Sky Sports, who report that Derby are in ‘advanced negotiations’ with Fiorentina to sign the striker.
Duncan, 19 has not made a single appearance for the Italian side since leaving Liverpool last year.
