Liverpool target Jesper Lindstrom claimed it would be “really cool” to play for the Reds.
Liverpool are in the market for new midfielders, with their current crop having appeared less effective than in previous seasons.
When fit, Jurgen Klopp has opted for the experienced heads of Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho in a midfield three. However, each has struggled with form and injury at various points this term.
Moreover, fringe players Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are out of contract in the summer and are both likely to depart Merseyside then, while Arthur Melo's disastrous loan spell will also come to an end in June.
In turn, Klopp’s side need a massive midfield rebuild. They have been linked with the likes of Jude Bellingham, Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo at various points in recent weeks.
However, another player tipped to move to the Anfield club is Lindstrom. Indeed, the Denmark international has admitted he would be open to such a move.

Lindstrom: Playing for Liverpool would be “really cool”
Liverpool are considering a move for Eintracht Frankfurt's versatile attacker, Lindstrom, according to the Danish publication Tipsbladet.
The report has stated Liverpool are 'interested' in Lindstrom but face competition for his services from Serie A table-toppers Napoli.
While negotiations are yet to have taken place between the player’s representatives and the Reds, he would likely be keen to move to Merseyside should Klopp’s side lodge an offer.
Lindstrom has previously admitted he grew up supporting the club and has aspirations to play for the club.
Speaking to TV 2 program 'Førstevælger', he admitted via the Liverpool Echo: "I've always said that I'm a Liverpool fan, so it could be really cool to play for Liverpool at some point."
The 22-year-old, who can operate either as an attacking midfielder or part of the forward line, has starred in the Bundesliga since leaving his native Denmark for Germany in 2021.
The youngster has scored eight goals and registered two assists for Eintracht this term, while he also featured for his national team at the World Cup in Qatar.
