Liverpool are reportedly interested in landing highly-rated attacker Steven Bergwijn from Dutch club PSV Eindhoven.

According to De Telegraaf, the Reds are one of several teams that are eyeing the 21-year-old that has been tearing up the Eredivisie this campaign.

The report also credits Tottenham, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan with interest.

It is understood that a potential sale of the Holland international would have to break their previous record departure of £30.6million.

Bergwijn has made 32 appearances across all competitions this season for PSV, scoring 12 goals and supplying 13 assists in return.

The speed machine is a winger with tremendous pace and trickery, while he’s proven he’s got an eye for goal too.

Liverpool may have to smash the £30million-barrier to obtain Bergwijn’s signature, but he could be a risk worth taking in the summer.

Reds manager Jurgen Klopp could be an excellent fit to help get the best out of him and truly kick him on to the next level.

Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah have been transformed from good players into elite ones in recent times at Anfield, which is a path that fellow wingers should want to follow under Klopp’s tutelage.

Liverpool play a direct attacking style of football and Bergwijn could be a real success if he adapted to English football.
