That's according to the ever reliable French publication L'Equipe who claim that Liverpool are among the clubs who have made contact to sign AS Monaco's Maghnes Akliouche.

The report claims Liverpool have made contact with Monaco but have asked for patience (we wonder why? Perhaps because of Wirtz?).

It also adds that Paris Saint Germain are interested however they are only able to offer €50m for the 23-year-old, whereas Monaco are holding out for €60m.

The French youth international would be an exciting player for Liverpool. Akliouche had made 19 goal contributions this season, often playing as an attacking midfielder on the right.

One of Akliouche's best assets is his creativity. He's averaged the most key passes (1.04 per 90) in Ligue 1. Meanwhile, he ranks third for expected assists (0.23 xA per 90).
