Liverpool have made Jurgen Klopp their priority to succeed sacked manager Brendan Rodgers.

BBC Sport says Klopp is Liverpool's first choice to replace Brendan Rodgers, who was sacked after Sunday's 1-1 draw at Everton.

The Northern Irishman was dismissed following almost three-and-a-half years in charge, with the Reds in 10th position in the Premier League.

No deal has yet been done with Klopp, 48, who won two German Bundesliga titles with Dortmund.

Ex-Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti, 56, is also being considered.
