Liverpool are watching Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford amid talk of him signing a new deal - 'secretly'.

The Athletic says Liverpool are admirers of Bamford.

Bamford secretly signed a one-year contract extension last summer which keeps him at Elland Road until 2023.

The report goes on to state that Bamford's performances this season have caught the eye of Liverpool.

However, it does not state that Liverpool are interested in signing the Leeds striker, merely that they are admirers of the player.
