Hi Eds.

Can you give any insight to what wide players we're tracking/ pursuing? I've seen few mentioned, Rafa Silva being the only player I can remember. Volland mainly in passing as Ed001 said was just an 'example'. Dembele who was never really realistic and both have now moved on anyway.

I've followed the posts and have seen wide areas mentioned as a priority but can't find names to players we're interested in.

{Ed002's Note - It shouldn't be difficult to find a previous summary, but Praet is of interest to Klopp but I still expect him to move to Sevilla, Georges-Kevin N'Koudou of Marseille has been looked at as has Gokhan Tore (but he is heading elsewhere) and Lucas Moura (bit of a flake, expensive and unlikely). Everything seems quiet with Rafik Zekhnini, Andrija Zivkovic and Davor Lovren who have been of interest. Liverpool is one of many sides with a declared interest in Anwar El Ghazi and he is a player I expect we will hear more of during the transfer window. Sofiane Feghouli was apparently speculatively considered - I could never confirm that but I expect him to head elsewhere and confirmation of that to be made very soon. Deportivo's Lucas Perez was scouted but is in talks with another EPL side - but is awaiting an approach from a Champions League side I understand - a career to will drift off in to the shadows. Karim Bellarabi has been watched by Liverpool - and many others.}

Like j said the other day, I would really like us to consolidate out interest in Karim Bellarabi with a bid.

He's experienced, effective and proven. I don't know how much Bayer would want for him and we can't offer European football but if a deal can be done then we should do it.

{Ed002's Note - Bayer Leverkusen are keen for him to stay and I expect he will.

Anwar El Ghazi looks a good prospect.

Hasnt zivkovic joined Benfica as Gaitans replacement.

{Ed002's Note - It has yet to be ratified but the expectation is that it will go through during July. There are some complex ownership issues involving Pini Zahivi needing to be resolved first - but excpectation is that they can be.}

Fosberg the swedish winger is good prospect too.
