Liverpool face frustration in their bid for Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Thorgan Hazard.

The Sun says Anfield boss Jurgen Klopp plans a second approach for the Borussia Monchengladbach ace after missing out in January.

German sources claim the Reds' offer for the 26-year-old is higher than Borussia Dortmund's and his current employers favour a deal with the Premier League leaders.

However Hazard has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with the Black and Yellows, believing he will enjoy more playing time with them than Klopp's side.

Dortmund are ready to pay £35million for Hazard, who will be out of contract next year - just like his brother.
