TARGET: Andros Townsend
According to the Mirror, the Reds have joined a long list of Premier League clubs in the hunt for the speedy winger.
Jurgen Klopp is said to want to add pace to Liverpool’s attack ahead of his first full season at Anfield.
And with a reported buy-out clause of £10.5m, Townsend could represent good value.
But Klopp will face stiff competition for his signature.
Manchester City, Crystal Palace, Southampton and West Ham are all also said to be keeping tabs on the 24-year-old.
Townsend joined Newcastle in a £12m deal from Tottenham in January.
He went on to make 13 Premier League appearances for the Magpies, scoring four goals and providing two assists in the process.
The England international is tied to the Geordie outfit until 2021 but he could seek a summer exit after their relegation to the Championship.
He is said to be currently deliberating over his future ahead of a potential move away from St James’ Park.
The player will apparently bide his time before making a decision after becoming aware of Premier League interest.
