Liverpool are interested in Real Betis striker Assane Diao.

AS says Liverpool and RB Leipzig are watching Diao in action for Spain at the U19 Euros.

Assane has only one year left on his contract with Betis and his renewal, negotiated for some time, has not yet been settled.

Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini has stated the 17 year-old will be part of his senior preseason. He said, "All players who stand out in the reserves and youth make the preseason.

"Assane has had a good season, acting in various positions."
