Liverpool and West Ham target striker

Newspaper reports today claim that Liverpool and West Ham are interested in Sassoulo striker Grégoire Defrel.

The 25-year-old Frenchman is, if you believe the reports, attracting attention from England with scouts from both ourselves and The Hammers having been clocked watching him in Serie A action recently.

Liverpool are in the market for a striker despite Reds’ boss Jürgen Klopp having played down suggestions that Daniel Sturridge will be sold next year.

We know little about this lad and to be honest with the reports sounding as speculative as they do, we’re not going to do much digging on this one.

Meanwhile, 19-year-old midfielder Franck Kessié continues to be linked with Liverpool with the latest claims suggesting that his agent is due on Merseyside this week for preliminary talks with the Reds.
