Two of those came against Jose Mourinho’s men in March 2020’s 3-0 Champions League round of 16 victory.

It is believed that the German club are holding out for around £36 million, with the player’s contract due to expire in the summer of 2022.

Highly-rated Sabitzer, who has also played for Admira Wacker and Rapid Vienna, was also linked with Arsenal in December.

Whether he arrives for nothing in 2022 or or a fee this summer, it appears the English Premier League could be his next destination.

These Liverpool and Spurs supporters are clearly enthusiastic about that prospect.
