Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp believes he can still tempt Ryan Sessegnon away from Fulham.
The Sunday Express says the Championship side have confirmed that Sessegnon will pen his first professional contract when he celebrates his 17th birthday next month.
But that won't put off Klopp who has had Sessegnon in his sights all season along with Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
Sessegnon, 16, is currently only on a scholarship contract but has been a key player for Championship promotion chasers Fulham this season.
Fulham will demand around £15 million before allowing Sessegnon who is seen as one of the brightest talents in the country leave the club.
