According to TMW, Liverpool are leading in the race to land the services of OGC Nice midfielder Jean Michaël Seri.
Having failed to get RB Leipzig midfield prodigy Naby Keita following several weeks of negotiations, the Anfield outfit believe the Ligue 1 star is even a more well-rounded option.
It is said the 26-year-old could be available for an unbelievable £20.5million; almost half of his reported £36million buyout clause.
Liverpool are far from alone in their interest in Seri, as they are in the company of Arsenal, Barcelona and Tottenham.
Given his attacking and defending prowess, the Ivory Coast international could prove to be the double package if signed by Liverpool.
The pass and possession master could end up being the much-needed piece to make manager Jurgen Klopp’s midfield tick to a tee.
Liverpool already boast of an unplayable front trio, and while their defending leaves little to be desired, landing a perfect box-to-box player with great stamina like Seri could help rectify that weakness to an extent.
This could be a dreaming signing for the Reds, but even without putting his chilblains into consideration, luring him to the Premier League would be a very daunting task for the Anfield outfit.
