Liverpool are interested in signing Bordeaux winger Francois Kamano, Calciomercato claim.

The Reds have had a quiet summer so far having only snapped up two players in youngsters Sepp van den Berg and Harvey Elliott.

Jurgen Klopp has suggested the club won’t be spending big like last summer, leaving some fans frustrated.

Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have all flashed the cash, and there are fears on Merseyside going into 2019/20.

Calciomercato report that the Reds would be willing to part with €15million/£13.5 million to land Kamano, who scored 13 goals last season.

Apparently, the club want him in to provide cover for Roberto Firmino, Mo Salah and Sadio Mane.

TBR’s view

Guinea international Kamano is a versatile forward capable of playing on either flank and even through the middle.

The 23-year-old could be of some use to Jurgen Klopp and is seemingly an inexpensive option.

That said, Kamano’s statistics for Bordeaux are not overly impressive – in 127 games for the club he has managed just 29 goals.

Perhaps Klopp would be better served handing a chance to Ryan Kent or Harry Wilson, or use Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri as cover.
