As reported by Lyall Thomas of Sky Sports News, Liverpool "have made an initial approach" to Monaco to "check on the potential availability" of wide-attacker Maghnes Akliouche. At the time of writing Rush the Kop understand that an enquiry was made into the 24-year-old’s availability earlier in the summer, but there has been no fresh approach.Monaco finished seventh in Ligue 1 last season, thereby set to enter the UEFA Conference League for the very first time.

Why do Liverpool want to sign Maghnes Akliouche? Overall, he ranked highly for a wide-variety of metrics in Ligue 1 last season.

Akliouche is clearly very talented and has incredible potential. Possibly not, but he is certainly a player Liverpool fans should get excited about, if he does indeed arrive.
