Liverpool may reportedly hold off making a formal approach for Watford winger Ismaila Sarr until the January transfer window.

Liverpool may reportedly wait until January to push through a deal for Watford winger Ismaila Sarr.

With Jurgen Klopp keen to add another winger to his first-team squad, Sarr has been identified as a realistic option due to his club's relegation from the Premier League.

The Hornets are said to be demanding a fee in the region of £40m for a player who contributed six goals and six assists from 30 appearances last season.

However, according to Football Insider, Liverpool are not prepared to spend that amount of money on one player before the end of the summer window.

Instead, the report suggests that the Merseyside giants are 'laying the groundwork' to sign the Senegal international at the beginning of 2021.

Although the 22-year-old has a contract at Vicarage Road until 2024, Watford are thought to be prepared to cash in on their most prized asset.
