Liverpool FC transfer news: Agent of 'Iranian Messi' aware of Reds interest but says no formal approach made

Liverpool have not made a formal approach for FC Rostov's Sardar Azmoun, the striker's agent insists.

The 21-year-old - dubbed the 'Iranian Messi' - has been linked with a move to Anfield in recent weeks.

Jurgen Klopp is said to be weighing up an offer for the Iran international when the January window opens as he will be short for forward options at the turn of the year.

Azmoun's representative, Mehdi Hagitali, is aware of the interest in his client, but has played down speculation over his future.
