Jurgen Klopp is eyeing up new talent in the shape of a couple of breakout Premier League stars.

Liverpool finished fourth in the Premier League, as a result, securing Champions League football for next season ahead of this weekends final against Real Madrid.

While the club are expected to draft in RB Leipzig's Naby Keita, Klopp is resigned to losing Emre Can who is heavily linked with a move to Serie A champions, Juventus.

And despite shelling out a reported £75 million for defender Virgil van Dijk from Southampton, it's suggested Liverpool will continue to bolster their defensive line.

According to Independent, Liverpool are reportedly plotting summer moves for Newcastle United's Jamaal Lascelles and Burnley's James Tarkowski.

Lascelles and Tarkowski have enjoyed breakout seasons for their respective clubs in the Premier League season just gone.

Tarkowski earned an England call-up following his heroics for Burnley, while Lascelles was tipped for a spot in Gareth Southgate's England World Cup squad. He ultimately got snubbed.

It's claimed Klopp is eager to add new faces to his squad.

He's believed to be looking for three or four new players during the summer market.

Stoke City's Jack Butland remains subject to intense transfer speculation following his sides relegation to the Championship, and continues to be linked with a switch to Anfield.

As for an attacker, a move for Lyon's 24-year-old French starlet Nabil Fekir has been muted not to mention a sensational transfer for Barcelona's Ousmane Dembele.
