Liverpool transfer news: Sky Sports reporter makes claim over exit amid medical claims
LIVERPOOL striker Dominic Solanke has NOT had a medical ahead of a potential loan move to Crystal Palace this month.
That is according to Sky Sports transfer expert Aidan Magee.
Solanke has been starved of football at Liverpool this season and has been linked with a move away from the club.

Crystal Palace are keen on the England international to bolster their attacking options.
Christian Benteke remains sidelined with a knee injury and Connor Wickham is only just returning from a long spell out himself.
Reports that he has completed a medical though are premature
Roy Hodgson’s side have scored just 17 goals in 20 Premier League games and Magee claims they are also keen on bringing in a couple of wingers.
But a move for Solanke has not reached the medical stage yet.
“Let’s get to Liverpool then,” Magee said on Sky Sports News.
“They’ve been having a press conference ahead of that mammoth game against Manchester City tomorrow.
“In the meantime they are discussing transfers and Crystal Palace are hopeful of signing the Liverpool striker Dominic Solanke on loan.
“Reports that he has completed a medical though are premature.
“But Palace are looking for a striker and two wide players in this window.
“They also expect to allow two fringe players to leave on loan.”
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp refused to comment on speculation linking Solanke with Palace at his press conference today.
“We don’t talk about any transfers, and loans are transfers as well, before they happen,” Klopp said.
“We will see what happens until January 31. [I have] nothing to say.”
Solanke has scored just one goal for Liverpool in 27 appearances since joining from Chelsea in 2017.
