Liverpool are in talks with Sporting Lisbon regarding a deal for winger Gelson Martins as the club continue their quest to bring in a pacy attacker.

The Reds have been in negotiations with Roma about Mohamed Salah, but fear being priced out of a move for the Egypt international, and Martins is seen as a potential option.

It has been claimed in Portugal that Martins has a buy-out clause of £52million, but that Sporting's failure to qualify for the Champions League means they would take £43.5m.
