Jürgen Klopp eyes Emre Can replacement

Jürgen Klopp is reportedly showing interest in Bournemouth midfielder Lewis Cook as a potential replacement for Emre Can.

The Germany international is out of contract at the end of the season and is expected to make a free transfer to Italian giants Juventus, although he continues to claim that he could still yet sign a new deal with the Reds.

Cook (21), an England Under-21 international, has been watched by Liverpool scouts recently and glowing reports have apparently been fed back to Reds’ boss Klopp.

The former Leeds United man was a member of the England Under 17 team that won the 2014 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. He also captained England to success at the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup and became the first Three Lions captain to lift a world trophy since Bobby Moore.

Gareth Southgate named him in the senior England squad for the first time for a friendly against Brazil in November.
