His form has been attracting the interest of several major European clubs including Merseyside giants Liverpool who are keen to strengthen their attack ahead of next season.

Apart from Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint Germain (PSG), Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid are also said to be keen on signing the petite attacker.

Liverpool have struggled in their attack in the past few weeks despite the fact that they have the famed front trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.

Senegalese international Mane has scored regularly in the past few games with six goals scored in eight matches but the duo of Salah and Firmino have struggled to find the back of the net.

Both players have just three goals between them for the Reds’ last eight games in all competitions.
