The Premier League giants have been strongly linked with a move for Jude Bellingham for a long time, although it appears that he isn’t the only star turn at the Signal Iduna Park that the Merseyside outfit admire
Moukoko's deal with the Bundesliga side expires at the end of the season, with the Reds believed to be the favourites to land the 17-year-old at this moment in time.

The Latest: Liverpool ‘tracking’ Moukoko
Speaking to GiveMeSport, Jones was full of praise for Moukoko and claimed that Liverpool will be one of the clubs monitoring his contract situation.
He said: “Moukoko is going to be one of the best players in the game. The next time we’re looking at Golden Boys, you’re probably looking at Moukoko being part of that conversation.

The Verdict: Get it done…
Liverpool's interestin Moukoko comes as no surprise given his outstanding track record, which has seen him being dubbed a ‘machine’ by football talent scout Jacek Kulig.
The Bundesliga starlet made an astonishing 106 goal contributions in just 56 appearances for Dortmund’s under-17s (90 goals and 16 assists).
He has already gone on to become an integral member of the first team at Signal Iduna Park, making 55 senior appearances before he reaches his 18th birthday.
The Reds are renowned for trusting in young players, giving the likes of Harvey Elliott and Fabio Carvalho plenty of game-time, and adding Moukoko to that list should be a no-brainer of a deal for FSG t to try and complete.
