Liverpool plot shock £20m swoop for midfielder
Liverpool are reportedly eyeing up a £20million move for Schalke's USA international midfielder Weston McKennie.
Born in Texas, the 20-year-old is a versatile player who is able to play in both defence and attack.
McKennie has played 45 times for Schalke's first team since first breaking into the side in May 2017.
His exploits for the Bundesliga outfit has seen him called up to US senior squad, scoring on his debut against Portugal in November that year.
McKennie was part of the American side that lost 3-0 against England at Wembley last year.
He has featured 19 times for Schalke so far this season, scoring twice, and he has reportedly attracted the attention of Kop chiefs, according to a report cited by talkSPORT.
Jurgen Klopp is a big fan of players who can operate in several positions, and the ex-Borussia Dortmund boss could raid his former rivals for a deal either now or in the summer.
