Having just had £140 million put into their bank account by Barcelona for Philippe Coutinho, we can expect Liverpool to be linked with numerous players between now and the end of the month.

You'll have seen the names by now. Thomas Lemar, Riyad Mahrez, Naby Keita, Lucas Moura, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Well how about a new one; Ben Brereton?

The 18-year-old Nottingham Forest starlet made headlines at the weekend, leading the line for Forest in their FA Cup win over holders Arsenal. Brereton was man of the match in the Championship club's 4-2 victory.

Such form is likely to attract attention, and Liverpool are among those said to have scouted the teenager this season.

And according to Oddschecker, Anfield is the likeliest destination for the England U19 star.

A total of 55% of bets on the youngster’s next club have been put on the Merseyside club, who are rated at 33/1 to sign him in this transfer window.

There are a whole host of Premier League clubs interested, with Tottenham (12/1), Everton (20/1), Stoke (20/1), Man Utd (28/1), Arsenal (33/1) and Chelsea (33/1) all in the running to secure his signature.

Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek said: “One way to appease Liverpool supporters is certainly by performing against Arsenal, and young Ben Brereton managed that and more in the FA Cup.

“Playing an integral role in overturning last year’s winners, the youngster put his name in the frame for a move to a Premier League side.

“We’ve seen a plethora of action on Brereton’s next club, with Liverpool leading the charge with 55% of all bets on him joining the Reds in the January transfer window.”

Certainly Staffordshire-born Brereton has shown all the qualities that would endear him to Jurgen Klopp. He works tirelessly for his teammates, he is pacy, and versatile, able to play out on the wing if need be.

Should Daniel Sturridge leave the club in this window, then bringing in a young and pacey striker to replace him would make sense for Liverpool. One to keep an eye on, for sure.
