Liverpool are in pole position to sign Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele.

Reports suggest that the France international was previously linked with a loan move, but now it seems as though the Reds are looking for a permanent deal.

It's an odd move for Liverpool in that they already have an attacking force described by 'overkill' as some.

Liverpool have a boost in comparison to other clubs who are after the attacker's signature, in that they have a wealth of funds at their disposal. It is money have that they have received from last season's mega-money deal with Philppe Coutinho heading to the Nou Camp to play for La Liga giant Barcelona.

Despite having a serious injury in his inaugural season at the Nou Camp and coming back from his serious injury, Demeble has failed to impressed during his time in Spain and is now open to offers to a move to the Premier League, with his current club, Barcelona, eyeing up a move for Antonie Greizmann for his replacement, surely an improved from the younger French national.

The money Barca owes to Liverpool for the costly Coutinho deal should see the deal come through.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has rejuvenated Liverpool this season and has seen them to a Champions League final where they'll play Real Madrid.

Klopp told UEFA about the upcoming encounter: "In our case, we've played in the Champions League without pressure most of the time."

"We entered the competition for the first time in a while and we quickly realised that we had a good chance.

"We aren't anyone else. We are Liverpool, on the way to becoming a really good team, and performing at such a high level is very cool.

"To summarise, it's been a crazy ride. But, after all, we've earned our place here."

This Liverpool's recent success, a move to Anfield should be a mouth-watering prospect for Dembele.
