In news likely to surprise many among the Anfield faithful, Jurgen Klopp is reportedly preparing a bid to secure the services of AC Milan's Mattia De Sciglio.

According to reports from Gazzetta Di Parma, The Red are in need of a full-back on both sides, with De Sciglio looking like the ideal replacement.

With 26 caps for Italy and able to play on the left and right, the Italian would provide ideal cover for both Nathaniel Clyne and Alberto Moreno.

But at 23-years-old, it's unlikely the Rossoneri will accept any bid less than £16 million for their former academy graduate.
