Minamino has shone in his time in Austria and has particularly caught the eye in the Champions League this season, including in games against Liverpool.
The 24-year-old scored a fine goal for Salzburg in their narrow defeat at Anfield, and Reds supporters will hope it’s the first of many in their stadium.
Liverpool have had a strong start to the season and some smart January spending on a talent like this could make all the difference for them in the second half of the campaign as they look to hold on to their lead at the top of the Premier League table and try to retain their Champions League crown as well.
