Liverpool news: Jurgen Klopp compiles seven-man shortlist after target's "leader" claim

Liverpool put their good home form to use on Sunday, as they secured a 2-2 draw against Premier League leaders Arsenal.

It's now time for Jurgen Klopp's players to sort our their away form, as they head to Elland Road to face relegation candidates Leeds on Monday night. The Reds have won just one of their last eight away Premier League outings to slip to eighth in the table.

A top-four finish seems unlikely, but it's not too late for Liverpool to salvage Europa League or Europa Conference League football next term. Ahead of their final nine Premier League games this season, here are the latest headlines from Merseyside.

Target's attributes

Liverpool target Jerry St Juste has opened up on his playing style, as Klopp considers making a move for the Sporting Lisbon star.

St Juste, 26, has impressed for Sporting since his transfer from Klopp's former club Mainz last summer, making 31 appearances in all competitions. The centre-back is yet to earn his first senior cap for the Netherlands, but that honour is just around the corner.

St Juste still has three-and-a-bit years remaining on his existing deal, but there is a belief Liverpool could sign him for a relatively modest transfer fee this summer. As such, the defender has revealed what he could bring to the table if called upon.

Who do you think Liverpool should sign this summer? Let us know in the comments below!

"My focus, aggressiveness, my reading of the game, being a leader, being technically skilled," St Juste told UEFA, as quoted by Portuguese outlet O Jogo. "I like to go out and play even playing as a centre-half, it's all part of my game.

"My speed? I inherited it from my mother, she was an athlete and was always very fast. However, I also trained a lot for that, mainly my strength to maintain that speed."

Euro 2028 snub

Anfield will not be used as a venue for Euro 2028 if England's joint-bid to host the tournament with Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland is successful.

Six English grounds have been put forward, but Anfield, Old Trafford and the Emirates will not be used. Wembley, the Etihad, St James' Park, Villa Park, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Everton's new ground - which is set to open next year - have all got the nod.

Liverpool find Bellingham alternatives

As you may have heard by now, Liverpool have abandoned their plans to sign Jude Bellingham this summer. Borussia Dortmund want more than £100million for the 19-year-old central midfielder, who is regarded as one of Europe's finest young footballers.

It is believed Liverpool will now target seven other players in the hope that two or three of them will move to Merseyside. Klopp's shortlist includes Chelsea pair Mason Mount and Conor Gallagher, who are both being tipped to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

Brighton duo Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister also have admirers at Anfield, while Matheus Nunes remains on Liverpool's radar after his stunning strike for Wolves last Saturday. There's also Leicester star Youri Tielemans, who is out of contract in June.

The last name on the shortlist is Ryan Gravenberch - the only non-England-based player - who has struggled for form since joining Bayern Munich from Ajax last summer.
