Liverpool have received a boost in their pursuit of Watford winger Ismaila Sarr.

The Reds were close to signing the Senegal international last summer.

They have re-visited acquiring the 23-year-old again, and according to the Express, Sarr is pushing to leave Watford.

Sarr is aware of Liverpool's interest and has told Watford to complete a deal for him to joint the Anfield giants.

The Hornets had previously sought £40m for Sarr, who also attracted Manchester United.

Jurgen Klopp is also looking at West Ham star Jarrod Bowen as an attacking target.
