Liverpool 'leading race' for Yunus Musah transfer

It was during the tournament that Liverpool were first linked with a move for Musah. The 20-year-old was one of his country’s key players before they were knocked out by the Netherlands in the last-16 stage.

Jurgen Klopp spotted on 'scouting mission' for Liverpool
As the second half got underway in Liverpool Under-21s’ Premier League 2 return against Tottenham Hotspur, Jurgen Klopp watched on briefly from the car park before getting in his car and departing the Academy, writes Theo Squires.
His scouting mission for the day was already done. With Curtis Jones a surprise starter in Barry Lewtas’ midfield, the Scouser was the player the German had come to see.
Jones has endured a torrid time with injuries over the past 18 months. A freakish eye injury suffered in training derailed his campaign last year as the Reds chased an unprecedented quadruple. Meanwhile, a stress injury in his leg has limited him to just eight appearances so far this season, with him suffering a couple of setbacks along the way.
As a result, he only made his return from the World Cup break as a substitute in last week’s loss to Brentford. But when he was absent from the matchday squad that faced Wolves in the FA Cup, it would have been no surprise if the reason had been another unfortunate lay-off.
