Liverpool 'wanted Jamal Lewis, Sergio Reguilon over Konstantinos Tsimikas'

Liverpool allegedly only moved for Olympiacos defender Konstantinos Tsimikas after missing out on two other targets.

Keen to bring in backup for left-back Andrew Robertson, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is said to be on the brink of signing Greece international Tsimikas.

The Premier League champions are reportedly willing to complete a £11.75m deal for the 24-year-old.

However, according to the Daily Star, Klopp would have preferred to have signed either Jamal Lewis or Sergio Reguilon.

Norwich City and Real Madrid were both demanding in the region of £20m for their respective players, leaving Liverpool to pursue a deal which was regarded as better value for money.

Despite their recent success, the Merseyside outfit are restricted in the transfer market this summer.
