Liverpool are reportedly keen admirers of Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves, with it being claimed that club scouts have sent back favourable reports on the player.
The Portuguese international has been linked with a number of other Premier League clubs over the past couple of years, including Arsenal and Manchester United, but no team has made a concerted effort to secure the player’s signature, despite his undoubted talent.
Supporters on Twitter have been debating whether Liverpool will make a move for Neves before the transfer window closes tomorrow:

The main obstacle when it comes to Neves is believed to be the asking price. Valuations vary wildly between £50m and £100m but the cost of the deal is likely to have put off the Reds from tabling a bid.
There are other options out there, including RB Leipzig’s Konrad Laimer, but it is looking increasingly likely that manager Jurgen Klopp won’t be bringing in another midfielder this summer.
