Premier League giants Liverpool have focused on a new defensive-midfield target after been rejected by Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.
Liverpool have reportedly set their sights on a new target in their chase for a defensive midfielder, with Crystal Palace's Cheick Doucoure hot on their radar.
The 23-year-old Malian only joined the Eagles last summer from Lens for a reported €22.60 million fee and is on a contract until 2027. But he could be set for an exit, with the Reds gearing up to make a move for him.
