Liverpool are reportedly keeping tabs on Leeds United attacking midfielder Raphinha ahead of the summer transfer window, and France Football has backed up the claims in recent hours.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are 10 points behind league leaders Manchester City following a woeful run that has seen them win just two of their last nine Premier League games.

Liverpool have lost four of those fixtures, drawing the other three, and the failure to adequately strengthen their attacking ranks during the last summer transfer window is hurting their chances of successfully defending the title.

They will be looking to bring in quality attackers when the next transfer window opens, and Raphinha could be a fine addition to their squad given his performances for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

Leeds fans know that holding on to the Brazilian could prove difficult, and here is how some of them and Liverpool fans have reacted to the rumours that Reds scouts are monitoring his progress at Elland Road:

He is a very good player would love to have him
