Liverpool 'could still' make late swoop for Watford star as injuries cause concern

Liverpool have once again been touted as making a 'potential' late swoop for Watford speedster Ismaila Sarr this summer.

The 24-year-old wide man is one who has been relentlessly linked with a move to Anfield this summer, with Sadio Mane's departure perhaps leaving the Reds a little short in terms of squad depth.

Now, with injuries in midfield piling up too, Jurgen Klopp's side may be forced into some late business during the remainder of the window, with Sarr eyed as a potential option.

According to reports via HITC, Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has insisted Liverpool could yet make a late swoop for the Hornets winger.

He told Caught Offside : “Liverpool have followed him for years but have never made any proposals, Klopp’s focus is on other deals; Sarr can be a surprise from here to the end of the market.

“Liverpool could be the right fit for Sarr’s talents, as he is a similar style of player to his compatriot Sadio Mane, who had a great career at Anfield before moving to Bayern Munich this summer.”

Leeds United and Newcastle have both also shown interest in the Senegalese international, whilst he does still have two years left on his current deal at Vicarage Road.
