Liverpool are interested in signing Borussia Dortmund talent Jacob Bruun Larsen this summer, according to The Sun.
What’s the story?
Fresh from their UEFA Champions League triumph, the Reds shouldn’t stand still this summer with important challenges ahead domestically and in Europe again next term.
The target will likely be winning the English Premier League and additions are needed to freshen up Jurgen Klopp’s successful squad.
One player they are looking at, say The Sun, is Dortmund youngster Larsen, who made a first-team breakthrough at the Bundesliga outfit last season.
The paper reckon that they are fighting it out with rivals Manchester United and Arsenal for his signature, but that Klopp maintains strong contacts with his former club – potentially giving them an advantage.
The report states that the 20-year-old signed for the German giants back in 2015 when Klopp was still in charge, signing him from under the noses of the interested Everton.

Where would he fit in at Liverpool?
Larsen plays on the left wing and with Sadio Mane in imperious form on that flank last season, there’s likely little scope for him to be first-choice for the Reds.
His senior experience is limited, having made just 32 appearances for Dormund, scoring three and assisting four. Not exactly numbers that suggest he is ready to be relied upon in the first-team on a consistent basis.
Taking up a role as Mane’s understudy is viable though and he has a prolific record at youth level that would suggest he may be able to produce the goods eventually. He scored 36 times and assisted 31 times in just 49 appearances for the club’s U19s side after being signed during the Klopp days.

Still just 20 years of age, if Liverpool take a long-term view of the player and gradually expose him to Premier League football as he learns from exciting wide players such as Mane and Mohamed Salah, the Reds could be on to a winner.
