LIVERPOOL are reportedly keeping tabs on Sporting Lisbon midfielder William Carvalho.

The Reds are thought to be tracking the 23-year-old's progress in the Portuguese top flight this season.
Carvalho boasts 17 appearances for the campaign and has picked up six yellow cards.
Arsenal are also said to be monitoring the player.
Sporting have reportedly offered the star a new contract in an effort to deter suitors, with a £46million (€60m) buy-out clause inserted.
But that price may not put Liverpool off.
Anfield manager Jurgen Klopp tried to spend big in January with a £24.5m offer for Shakhtar Donetsk striker Alex Teixeira.
The Ukraine club wanted a £53m for their ace, who now looks set to head to China.
It is thought Klopp will be given significant resources to bolster his squad at the end of the season.
