Liverpool transfer news: Jurgen Klopp gives up on Thomas Lemar to focus on Monaco comrade
LIVERPOOL have given up hope of signing Thomas Lemar and have instead turned their attention to his Monaco team-mate Keita Balde, according to reports.

Monaco are said to be willing to listen to offers for the Senegal international, despite only joining last summer.
