A number of Liverpool fans are excited after a transfer story emerged regarding the Reds' reported interest in Netherlands forward Donyell Malen.

Jurgen Klopp's side battled their way to a third-place finish in the Premier League last season, but the team looked jaded at times during a tough campaign.

There is a feeling that some fresh blood is needed in the squad this summer, with defender Ibrahima Konate already arriving from RB Leipzig. Liverpool's attack could be in need of a rejig, considering the struggles of Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino last term.

According to Voetbal International journalist Marco Timmer [via Sport Witness and LFC Transfer Room on Twitter], agent Mino Raiola is in talks with Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund about a move for Malen.

The 22-year-old Dutchman scored 19 goals in the Eredivisie last season and is seen as one of the most exciting young players in the Netherlands.
