Liverpool want Amrabat

Amrabat, who was a mainstay figure in Regragui's team, now seems to have landed himself on Jurgen Klopp's radar after his stellar performances.

According to The Sun, Liverpool are keen to strengthen their midfield in January and have set their sights on signing the Moroccan star.

Foot Mercato claims that Klopp has already met the player's representatives, with the view of pushing for a move in the coming days.

While Amrabat is contracted with Fiorentina until 2024, the Italian giants are understood to be willing to cash in on him.

The midfield star, who is valued at around £40million, is also said to be open to moving to the Premier League.
