Liverpool are reportedly leading the way in the chase for Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Ante Coric after his move to Manchester City fell through.
According to Steve Bates of the Sunday People (h/t the Sunday Mirror), City had a £15 million bid for Coric accepted, although the player wasn’t keen to move having been informed of a plan to send him out on loan. Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are said to be ready to capitalise.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is noted to have “been on the teenager’s trail all summer” and wants to strengthen his options before the window closes on Wednesday.
