This summer, Liverpool is considering another move for Rennes winger Jeremy Doku.
Liverpool are preparing a bid for the 19-year-old Belgian international, according to Calciomercato.

If the Belgian had been tearing up the French league, Liverpool might have been persuaded to sign him. However, they would have had to pay an exorbitant fee as well.
