Klopp's South American target likes red colour and has Liverpool shirt; bid submitted earlier

Liverpool have been monitoring the Argentine striker Lucas Alario over the last few months and now the player has himself dropped a hint that he would like a move to Anfield.

Earlier this season, the Argentine media reported that Liverpool have submitted a 5.75 million pounds bid for Lucas Alario, but River Plate are holding out for 8.5 million pounds for the 23-year-old striker.

Alario was first linked with Liverpool after Jurgen Klopp took charge.

Alario is a versatile young forward who can play as the centre-forward or as a wide forward.
