Liverpool have world-class left wingers such as Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo. The Colombian international has woken up in front of goal this season, while the Dutch international has regained his true form after being locked in at his main left-wing position.
Both players are in fierce regular competition, but Liverpool are looking further into the future. They are eyeing 20-year-old Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund as a potential replacement, according to Bild.
Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, also in the Premier League, are also keen, and a battle could develop in the transfer market next summer.
The England Under-21 winger has woken up quickly this season, scoring four goals and assisting two in nine games so far. He is now one of the most promising youngsters in the Bundesliga, with his decision-making ability around the goal increasing dramatically from his two goals and eight assists in 34 games last season.
With Dortmund having developed world-class English players such as Jaydon Sancho and Jude Bellingham, there is great potential for him to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and become one of the next generation of attackers in the England national team.
The London-born winger came through the Reading and Manchester City academies before seeking a new home in Germany in September 2020. The challenge now will be whether he can maintain his current form until the end of the season.
Nevertheless, he has a lot of potential and is an ideal talent for clubs looking to strengthen their attacking line-up. He is also a home-grown player and can be included in the home-grown system, which is of great benefit to Premier League clubs.
