Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp may well look to bring in a new attacker to provide some competition for the likes of Sadio Mane and Mo Salah next season having been linked with Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele, but Reds fans have urged him to sign Bayer Leverkusen winger Julian Brandt.
The 6ft 1in tall 22-year-old has been in impressive form for the Bundesliga club – he scored 12 goals and provided a further seven assists in 39 appearances in all competitions during the 2017/18 campaign – which didn’t go unnoticed by Germany manager Joachim Low.
The wideman made the preliminary 27-man squad for the holders for the World Cup in Russia this summer, and he will be hoping to make the final cut for the final 23 names having started in the 2-1 friendly defeat against Austria on Saturday.

Liverpool supporters, who know who they want to partner Fabinho and Naby Keita in midfield next season, have been quick to have their say on Brandt via social media, and while one said “sign Brandt to be our Kevin De Bruyne for £25m”, another said he is “also cheaper than Dembele”.
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
