**Liverpool are reportedly interested in Barcelona’s young striker Christian Tello according to [The Mirror](https://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Liverpool-express-interest-in-Barcelona-Cristian-Tello-article873393.html.).**

Tello, 20, only made his Barca debut last month but with his contract up at the end of the season several of Europe’s top clubs are said to be *[tracking](https://arsenal-news.com/just-who-is-arsenal-target-christian-tello-lets-find-out/2741)* him.

Liverpool will certainly be looking to bloster their forward line during the summer as it is likely to cost them a Champions League spot. Saturday’s 2-1 home defeat to Arsenal was only the latest in a series of matches in which the Reds have dropped points despite dominating.
