Liverpool transfer target Mahmoud Dahoud insists he’s focused on the season ahead with Borussia Monchengladbach.

The Reds have so far been thwarted in their attempts to sign the Germany Under-21s international with the Bundesliga outfit reluctant to sell the £25million-rated midfielder.

Dahoud, who has two years remaining on his contract, says he won’t be pushing for a move.

“I am fully focused on Monchengladbach at the moment,” he told Kicker.

“Who says I should leave Gladbach? I still have room for improvement.

“My finishing has to improve, I have to get stronger in the air and I can still improve physically to get stronger on the pitch.”

Last season proved to be a breakthrough campaign for the Syria-born 20-year-old, who has been the subject of interest from clubs across Europe.

Gladbach, who sold fellow midfielder Granit Xhaka to Arsenal, want to get Dahoud tied down to a new contract but Sporting director Max Eberl admits that might not be straightforward.

“Of course we are trying to get Mo to sign a new deal,” Eberl said.

“But he has attracted a lot of interest. That makes it a difficult matter for us.”
