L'Equipe claim the Reds are keen on Andrija Zivkovic of Partizan Belgrade, with the 19-year-old scoring 12 goals in 27 appearances this season. He has also already made his debut for the national team. Liverpool won't be the only ones trying to sign Zivkovic though, with Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund and PSG all linked.
According to Italian publication TMW, Liverpool have made official enquiries into signing Roma wonderkid Mirko Antonucci. The 16-year-old is considered among the most exciting prospects in Italy and the Rome based club are vulnerable to poachers with the youngster's contract running out in 2017. Manchester United are also being linked with the forward.
Liverpool could be frustrated in their pursuit of Ben Chilwell. They've been linked with a move for the 19-year-old left back, along with Arsenal, with reports they've been scouting the youngster. However, Leicester are set to counteract any interest by offering their player an improvement on his current £800-a-week contract.
New goalkeepers continue to be linked with Anfield amid questions over number one Simon Mignolet and deputy Adam Bogdan. However, it seems the former could be in line for a new deal. Despite the 27-year-old's current contract running until 2018, he is understood to be on the verge of signing a new five-and-a-half year contract.
Loan signing Steven Caulker clearly wasn't signed based on his most recent appearance. A deal was struck with QPR yesterday to bring the centre-back to Anfield for the remainder of the season, cutting short his time with Southampton. The once-capped England international's final appearance for Saints was a 6-1 Capital One Cup defeat - at the hands of his new employers.
