Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is determined to sign Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Julian Brandt.

Liverpool Echo reporter James Pearce says Brandt is high on Jurgen Klopp's wish list.

Pearce told the Anfield Edition: "I'm not sure if he's the No.1 target but he's certainly very high up on Klopp's summer shopping list.

"Klopp wanted to buy him in January but Leverkusen were adamant that he wasn't for sale.

"Klopp rates Brandt very highly and Liverpool will certainly go all out to get him this summer."

Brandt is under contract until 2019 and his current deal contains a €12.5m (£10.7m) release clause that activates in 2018.
