A number of Liverpool supporters are excited after it was claimed that the Reds are interested in signing Leeds United winger Raphinha.

Jurgen Klopp's side have had nearly two weeks without a game but they return to Premier League duties this weekend.

Liverpool make the trip to Watford for a potentially tough game on Saturday lunchtime, looking to go top of the table in the process.

It was a quiet summer at Anfield, with Ibrahima Konate the only signing, but it could be that a number of new faces arrive at the end of this season.

Speaking to Globo Esporte, former Barcelona star Deco, who is Raphinha's agent [via Sky Sports News on Twitter], claimed Liverpool are keen on snapping up the Leeds star.

He states that the Reds 'like' the Brazil international, eyeing him up as a potential long-term replacement for the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.
