Liverpool are eyeing Bayer Leverkusen defender Jonathan Tah.
Jurgen Klopp's men have struggled defensively at times this season and the German centre-back could be the man to help ease these issues.
Tah is approaching the last two years of his contract and is attracting attention from across the Premier League. Nottingham Forest tried to bring him to the City Ground in January while West Ham, Newcastle and Tottenham are also believed to be interested.
However, Liverpool could have the upper hand through their connection with Bayer coach Xabi Alonso, says the Sunday Express.
The Spaniard is widely considered to be something of a legend at Anfield having played a crucial role in their 2005 Champions League success and maintains a good relationship with the club.
