Liverpool are hardly in determined want of left-wing reinforcements within the close to future.
The Merseysiders already possess the abilities of Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz, plus the addition of Federico Chiesa in the summertime switch window has additional shored up the place.
Nonetheless, one contemporary report has claimed the Reds are maintaining a tally of Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu a number of months forward of the following market opening in January.
