Liverpool transfer news: Jurgen Klopp delivers Dominic Solanke update amid Rangers link
JURGEN KLOPP has suggested Dominic Solanke will not be leaving Liverpool to join Rangers on loan.
Dominic Solanke scores a late winner for England U21s
Solanke is seen as one for the future at Liverpool and is highly thought of by Anfield chiefs.
Klopp labelled the 20-year-old as the future of England and Liverpool little under a year ago.
But the re-emergence of Daniel Sturridge during pre-season has pushed Solanke further down the pecking order on Merseyside.
Roberto Firmino’s position as the lone striker is unlikely to be challenged anytime soon with Sturridge seen as a the back-up option.
It means Solanke is unlikely to feature in many games for Liverpool this season as they attempt to mount a Premier League title challenge.
Rumours linking him with a loan move to Rangers have been circulating all summer.
But Klopp was none the wiser when asked about the speculation suggesting Solanke could join Rangers.
“I hear for the first time now,” Klopp said.
“So it doesn’t look like it is close to happening.”
Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has already taken both Ryan Kent and Ovie Ejaria on loan from Liverpool while Jon Flanagan was signed on a free.
Klopp has admitted there could be still more outgoings at Liverpool with other European transfer windows still open.
Ragnar Klavan looks set to leave the club today with reports stating he has flown out to Sardinia ahead of a move to Cagliari.
