Liverpool have reportedly revived their interest in Germany international Hector and an offer could be forthcoming judging by the Football Whisper ranking, which has increased by 0.2 per cent since Monday.

It has been suggested that the Reds are keen to sign the left-back as Jurgen Klopp remains unconvinced by Alberto Moreno. And, with the Spaniard picking up an injury in the Reds' final pre-season match in the United States, the Liverpool boss could be forced into the market.

Despite allaying those initial injury fears over Moreno, the question marks hanging over the full-back's suitability at Liverpool remain.

And it's those doubt that have seen Milan's dynamic left-back De Sciglio linking with a move to Merseyside. 

Gazzetta dello Sport claims the Reds are readying a £16m bid for the Italy international, who has also attracted interest from Napoli.

3. Jetro Willems (PSV) - 2.4

The 22-year-old Netherlands international is a former team-mate of Liverpool's newest signing, Georginio Wijnaldum and his Football Whispers ranking is still strong.

Willems, speaking after PSV's win over Feyenoord, confirmed he could be leaving the club.

"There are a number of clubs that have been in touch," Willems reportedly told Fox Sports.
