The Spaniard has had a superb season in the Premier League, looking like he could be an ideal fit for Klopp’s side’s style of play.

Traore is expected to cost Liverpool around £70million, so would likely be more expensive than Werner, which suggests Klopp really rates the 24-year-old.

It now seems that talks have progressed well and an agreement for Wijnaldum to remain at Anfield looks very much on the cards.
