Liverpool supporters are ready for a hectic summer of transfer rumours and the majority of names are coming from players who are thriving in other top leagues around Europe but this midfielder is plying his trade a little closer to home.

Jurgen Klopp's goal heading into the summer transfer window was to sort out the mess in his midfield and with the signing of Alexis Mac Allister nearly complete, the German boss is eyeing up a move for a 22-year-old Ligue 1 star.

Liverpool are ready for a big summer and a midfield overhaul in this window, with it seeming that we're prepared to get our new players into the club early and the price for one potential signing seems to have been set.

This summer is going to be full of transfer targets who will become increasingly likely or unlikely to sign for Liverpool and there's been an update on our interest in one relatively long-term target,

Liverpool have started to make moves in the transfer market and are looking to follow up the signing of Alexis Mac Allister by bringing in other midfielders.

According to Jacque Talbot, Feyenoord captain Orkun Kokcu is a player who's 'liked' by Liverpool, although they mightn't seriously pursue him until later in the summer.

According to Jacque Talbot, Khephren Thuram's father - France legend Lilian - is 'pushing' the Nice midfielder towards joining Liverpool rather than Newcastle this summer.

Many Liverpool fans are so consumed in which players may be arriving at the club that when we see one name ruled out of an Anfield move, it may actually help us figure who could be our player by the end of the transfer window.

According to Jacque Talbot for Football Transfers, Feyenoord midfielder Orkun Kokcu 'remains high on the agenda' for Liverpool this summer, along with the likes of Khephren Thuram and Manu Kone.

Newcastle United are understood to hold interest in Gladbach's rising star (and Liverpool-linked) Manu Kone ahead of the start of the summer window.
