Liverpool are said to have lined up a move for Ibrahim Sangare ahead of the winter window in a bid to resolve their midfield injury crisis.

The Merseysiders, at one stage in the summer transfer window, were thought to be somewhat interested in the 24-year-old, although they only saw PSV give the midfielder a contract extension to keep him in the Netherlands until 2027.
