The 22-year-old has been in impressive form for Hertha Berlin despite the fact that his football development has been curtailed by injuries this season.

Marko Grujic was the first signing made by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp who was appointed in October 2015.

Premier League leaders Liverpool paid £5m to secure his transfer from Serbian club Red Star Belgrade.

He spent last season on loan at Welsh club Cardiff City and also helped the Bluebirds gain promotion into the Premier League at the end of the last campaign before returning to Liverpool last summer.
