Ousmane Dembélé, Ruben Neves, Jamaal Lascelles? All three players have been linked with a transfer to Liverpool, but what are the odds of the deal getting done?
Barcelona starlet Dembélé has been a target of the Reds, although talkSPORT has now reported that the Catalan giants want to give the former Borussia Dortmund kid another crack at the whip after his disappointing debut season.

Lascelles is probably a more likely transfer than the previous two, simply because he plays in a position that could do with further reinforcements and Klopp has watched him closely before (read here for more.)
