INSIDER: Liverpool serious about Gladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria

Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria is on Liverpool's radar.

That's according to BILD's head of sport, Christian Falk.

He told lfctransferroom.com: "Liverpool have been watching Zakaria for a long time, even before at his club in Switzerland, BSC Young Boys. So far, there have been no talks about a transfer, but rather there have been exchanges between his agent and the scouts regarding Zakaria's development.

"His style fits Liverpool very well. He is dynamic, and great at tackling – a good number six that has a lot of speed and pushes the game up. If Henderson's time at Liverpool ends sometime soon, Zakaria will be a good option as replacement. Our legend Günter Netzer told me that he is great, so if Netzer says this, it's true. Grujic is not a player of his same class."
