PSG sounded out Klopp as possible Tuchel replacement
Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo spoke to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp for over an hour to discuss the possibility of the German replacing Thomas Tuchel, reports Le10sport.

Moyes set for West Ham return
David Moyes is poised to replace Manuel Pellegrini as West Ham manager, reports Sky Sports News.
Pellegrini was sacked on Saturday after a 2-1 loss to Leicester City.
Moyes himself was replaced by Pellegrini after a short stint at the Hammers in 2018 with the Scottish manager yet to land a managerial job since.
Liverpool target Nigerian ace
Lille striker Victor Osimhen is a target for Liverpool, according to the Express.
The Premier League leaders have been scouting the Nigerian forward in detail this season and will have seen him score 13 goals in Ligue 1 so far.
Gunners set sights on Upamecano
Arsenal have been linked with Leipzig central defender Dayot Upamecano and the 21-year-old could be allowed to leave the German club if they can sign fellow Frenchman Tanguy Kouassi from Paris St-Germain, as reported by Le Parisien.
The 17-year-old Kouassi is seen as the long-term successor to Upamecano, but Leipzig are prepared to start the process early.
That would pave the way for the Gunners to pursue Upamecano.
Man Utd want Eriksen
The playmaker is looking to leave Spurs
