Liverpool Transfer News: Reds Interested in Leroy Sane, Top Rumours

Liverpool are interested in Schalke teenage sensation Leroy Sane, as the midfielder looks set to break into the Germany international side.

The Bundesliga starlet has impressed coach Jurgen Klopp, and the Reds could step up their interest in the near future.

Nicholas Godden of the MailOnline said the 19-year-old is due for his debut for the senior national team after Germany coach Joachim Low lauded the talent, saying he has a "special gift":

"

Leroy has an incredibly good feeling when it comes to running into space and, with his speed, he has acquired this very well.

He has shown the quality that he has in the final third third and in the Bundesliga matches that we have observed, he has simply convinced us.

He is a player with a special gift and finesse, speed paired with technique and strong running – at just 19. He can make the jump with us very quickly.

"

The youngster has made a breakthrough at the Gelsenkirchen club this term and has received rave reviews for his quality.

Godden highlights the player's development is being "monitored" by Liverpool and Sane is "well known" to new manager Klopp. 

The technically blessed individual can play in several positions, usually marshaling the wide areas of midfield but also featuring as a winger and No. 10.

Sane's record in the Bundesliga is exceptional this season after making his debut in 2013-14, scoring four goals and assisting on three occasions during his 12 league appearances, according to WhoScored.com.

The player has also been scouted by Manchester City and Arsenal recently, as confirmed by Godden, and will continue to attract interest ahead of the January transfer window. 

In an article for ESPN, European football writer Michael Yokhin believes Sane could turn into an outstanding player, per the Blizzard:

The presence of Klopp at Anfield should give Liverpool the edge if Sane comes onto the market, and a swift move will be advisable before the clamour for his services explodes to new levels. 

Klopp Recalls Ojo For Training

Liverpool teenager Sheyi Ojo has been temporarily recalled to his parent club during a year-long loan spell at Wolverhampton Wanderers in order to meet and train with Klopp, who has kept a close eye on the attacker.

Ojo revealed the German coach has stayed in contact with him during his 12-month switch to Molineux, as quoted by the Daily Star's Jonathan Green:

"

He seems like a really nice manager and he wants to help all of the players.

He's just said to me to keep my head down, keep working hard and obviously we'll just see what the future holds.

I think he's come to see me a couple of times which is nice to hear and hopefully I can keep on improving and keep on doing well.

With the right guidance I think I can do well in this team. I'm still learning and I'm still young so I'll just see how it goes and see what the manager wants me to do.

The winger has appeared 16 times for the Championship club, scoring three goals, according to Green.

Klopp's attention to youth is not surprising, as the coach has an excellent reputation for squad building and progressive training.

This also suggests a move for Sane would be unsurprising, as the young player's stock rises exponentially.

Liverpool need to move fast if they want to add the midfielder to their squad. Sane is assured to become one of the most watched talents as he further establishes himself in the Bundesliga.
