Liverpool make a move for exciting Portuguese winger

Liverpool continues to look for summer reinforcements and the latest name to be linked with the Merseyside giants is Sporting Lisbon winger Gelson Martins. Reports from A Bola (via the Daily Star) suggest that Reds boss Jurgen Klopp has stepped up his interest in the 22-year-old who caught the eye last season with some spectacular displays for the club from the capital.
 
The journal writes that the German tactician is a huge fan of the player but will face a battle to bring him to Anfield as the player who was born in the Cape Verde Islands, signed a new five-year deal in February.
 
With Klopp still trying to close out the signing of Roma striker Mohamed Salah, who is also speedy out on the flanks, Liverpool are making a real statement of intent ahead of the new campaign with the German wanting a squad in place in time for their pre-season preparations and of course, their all-important Champions League play-off tie.
