Liverpool plot stunning move for Premier League star described as “unbelievable” by Klopp
In order to address his midfield problems, Jurgen Klopp is said to be considering a summer transfer for Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante.
Liverpool decided not to add midfield reinforcements in January, despite their struggles this year.
To the dismay of Liverpool fans, Cody Gakpo was the lone new arrival throughout the summer window.
Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund is a midfield target for the Reds who are anticipated to make a move for him in the summer. Matheus Nunes, Moises Caicedo, and Sofyan Amrabat have also been mentioned as potential targets for the midfield position.
According to a stunning report, Liverpool are now thinking about signing Kante this summer.
The France international has missed the majority of the season after suffering a hamstring injury early on in the campaign.
He has made just two appearances this term and is yet to feature under Chelsea boss Graham Potter.
The 31-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and his future at Stamford Bridge is unclear.
But there are likely to be plenty of suitors for the World Cup winner if he is available on a free transfer in the summer.
According to Catalan outlet El Nacional, as reported by Football365, Liverpool are considering a move for Kante in the next window.
Klopp has made no secret of his admiration for the midfielder in the past.
Speaking ahead of a Premier League match between Liverpool and Chelsea in 2019, Klopp described the one-time PFA Player of the Year as “unbelievable”.
“It’s a really exciting team, it reminds me a little bit of my team at Borussia Dortmund a few years back when they were really young, even younger than this team now at Chelsea,” Klopp said at the time.
“And people always talked about how young they were, but they only played because they were that good, not because they were that young.
“Jorginho not that young, but not been that long in the league. You have Kante who looks like he could play for the next 20 years. Maybe he’s only 18 physically, it’s unbelievable.”
