Jurgen Klopp eyes double swoop after Liverpool scouts watch PSG's game with Real Madrid
LIVERPOOL are keeping tabs on Paris Saint-Germain youngsters Christopher Nkunku and Lamine Ba.
Jurgen Klopp reportedly eyes PSG pair Christopher Nkunku and Lamine Ba
That is according to French publication L’Equipe, who claim Reds scouts were sent to watch the pair in action during PSG's win over Real Madrid in the UEFA Youth League.
Attacking midfielder Nkunku impressed in the 4-1 win with two goals, while 18-year-old Ba played an important role in the heart of the defence.
The Reds are evidently planning for the future under new boss Jurgen Klopp, but face an uphill battle to sign the pair, who are thought of very highly at the Parc des Princes.
17-year-old Nkunku also revealed in the summer that he intends to remain at the Ligue 1 giants, while Ba only joined from Guingamp in the summer.

Nkunku said: "I am at PSG. This is the club where I developed. I am going to do everything I can to sign a professional contract here."
When asked if he's already talked with PSG over a deal, he added: "No, it has not yet been a topic that we have discussed together. But if it is supposed to happen, it will happen."
