Liverpool assistant Pep Ljinders has hinted the club harbour an interest for Ruben Neves.

The Portuguese has been brilliant for Wolves since joining from Porto two seasons ago.

Ljinders, who worked with Neves at Porto, told O Jogo: "I know him very well, his ambition, his passion for the game, his professionalism.

"I know what he gives to the team and this type of player always interests us.

"I recognised him when I saw him at Wolves. I saw technique, professionalism; I saw the 2013-14 player I knew."
