Liverpool Transfer News: Jordy Gaspar Targeted Amid Jon Flanagan Exit Rumours

Liverpool's rapidly depleting full-back resources has reportedly prompted the Reds to pursue the signing of Lyon's Jordy Gaspar, but they will face competition for his signature from Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen.

Per Dipesh Agarwal of Sport Witness, Jon Flanagan is reportedly in talks to move on loan to Burnley, and with the recent departure of Brad Smith to Bournemouth, that could leave Liverpool with only Nathaniel Clyne, Alberto Moreno and 19-year-old Joe Gomez to employ at full-back.

As a result, the Merseyside outfit are eyeing Gaspar, 19, who has yet to sign a professional contract with Lyon and has also drawn interest from Bayer, per L’Equipe (via Agarwal).
