Liverpool are keen on signing Borussia Monchengladbach ace Mahmoud Dahoud
Mahmoud Dahoud has been in excellent form this season
Dahoud has caught the eye with a series of impressive performances for Monchengladbach this season.
The 20-year-old is a rising star and is expected to make his senior Germany debut sooner rather than later.
Dahoud has scored once for the Bundesliga side this term and also weighed in with two assists.
However, Juventus and Bayern Munich are both reportedly ready to rival Klopp for the youngster’s signature.

Juventus still have cash to spend after selling Paul Pogba to Manchester United for £89million in the summer.
And Bayern have endured a difficult start under Carlo Ancelotti and want Dahoud to help them overtake newly-promoted RB Leipzig in the title race.
Though Dahoud is wanted in January, Liverpool may have to wait until the end of the season to land their man.
The midfielder’s contract expires in 2018 and Monchengladbach may have to cash in on him in the summer.
