Liverpool Send Scouts to Monitor Nakamura

Jurgen Klopp is looking to improve his frontline going forward and has sent his scouts to go and watch the 22-year-old winger in action for the Austrian club. They are also monitoring his situation at the club after being impressed with his form at the domestic level this season.

However, McGrath adds that the Japanese winger is set to stay with LASK for the rest of the season and will not push for a move before the end of the January transfer window. Liverpool also face some competition for his future signing, with Brighton & Hove Albion also monitoring his progress with the Austrian side.

Nakamura is a menacing left-winger, who has taken things to a new level this season. In 50 appearances for LASK in his career, the Japanese forward has scored 20 goals and provided seven assists – boasting a goal contribution in every two games. His impressive form for LASK has seemingly impressed Liverpool, who are now going to keep an eye on his progress before possibly eyeing a summer move for him.
