Liverpool are interested in signing Norwich City left-back Jamal Lewis for 10-million pounds as cover for Andy Robertson.
Northern Ireland defender Lewis, 22, made 28 Premier League appearances in 2019-20, scoring once, as the Canaries were relegated.
Norwich are thought to be keen on Reds left-back Yasser Larouci, which could help to reach a deal.
Larouci, born in Algeria, has one year left on his contract and is keen to get more playing time.
He has only appeared in two first-teams for the Premier League champions that came in the FA Cup. He appeared with 34-year-old midfielder James Milner usually covering for Scotland captain Robertson, 26, when needed.
Liverpool sold Croatia’s centre-back Dejan Lovren to Zenist St Peterson for 10.9-million pounds in July.
