Liverpool join Chelsea in Mohamed Simakan race?

Liverpool are reportedly monitoring any developments regarding the future of Strasbourg defender Mohamed Simakan.

Despite having to deal with long-term injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez, manager Jurgen Klopp has hinted that he will opt against adding a new centre-back to his squad in January.

However, according to Telefoot, the Merseyside giants are contemplating whether to make a bid for in-demand youngster Simakan.

The 20-year-old has already established himself as a key man at Strasbourg, making a total of 18 starts in Ligue 1 during the current campaign.

Chelsea have been linked with a future approach for the prospect, while AC Milan and RB Leipzig are said to be showing the strongest interest.

Simakan has two-and-a-half years remaining on his Strasbourg contract.
