Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic is attracting January transfer interest.

The Liverpool Echo says Grujic is wanted by Brighton and Aston Villa as the race to secure his services in January hots up.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is considering sending the 21-year-old out on loan when the transfer window opens and there has been plenty of interest in the Serbia international.

Galatasaray are keen to take him to Turkey but Liverpool are adamant that he won't be going abroad.

The Reds believe Grujic would benefit more from staying in English football. Brighton and Villa are among a host of Premier League and Championship clubs to have registered their interest in Grujic.
