Liverpool Transfer News: Latest Rumours, Signings Linked to Jurgen Klopp's Reds

Liverpool have reportedly joined the race to sign Marseille winger Georges-Kevin N'Koudou this summer.

That's according to Ed Aarons of the Guardian, who wrote that the Reds, Manchester United and West Ham United are trying to bring the 21-year-old to the Premier League.

N'Koudou was one of Marseille's standout performers in 2015/16, scoring five Ligue 1 goals (per Soccerway) and being a constant menace.

Here's a look at what N'Koudou could bring to Anfield:

Reds manager Jurgen Klopp worked wonders with the Liverpool squad last term, but if he wants to make them a force in England's top flight once again, investment is key.

A new winger is on the German's agenda for the summer, and it's safe to say N'Koudou has the ability to be a star.

His direct style of play is something that would appeal hugely to Klopp, while his pace and trickery would have Premier League defenders quaking in their boots.

However, N'Koudou often neglects his defensive responsibilities, and if he plays on the left flank with Alberto Moreno, it could be a recipe for disaster.

Aarons wrote that West Ham are preparing a £10 million bid for the 21-year-old, and Liverpool have more than enough funds to give Marseille a more attractive offer.

And as the French club only signed N'Koudou from Nantes for £1 million last year, such a healthy profit will be tempting.

In other news, long-term target Max Meyer has revealed he wants to ply his trade in the Premier League, via Jack Bezants of MailOnline.

The Schalke midfielder won plenty of admirers for his performances in 2015/16, yet he said that if he leaves the Bundesliga, then he'd like to come to the Premier League.

"If I left Schalke and was going to play football in any other league in Europe, I would like to move to England," Meyer said.

Meyer is primarily deployed as an attacking midfielder, and although Liverpool aren't short of options in that department, the 20-year-old's potential is exciting.

Without European football on their agenda next term, the Reds have a real chance of focusing on the Premier League and launching a legitimate title bid.

Yet although Klopp is seen as something of a miracle worker, he still needs big-name players to come in and give him the confidence to build.
