Liverpool are believed to be edging closer towards a deal for Leandro Paredes.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Reds are continuing to monitor the Argentine playmaker who is on a season-long loan at Empoli from AS Roma.

It is believed that Roma are looking to offload the 21-year-old and Liverpool are considered a possible destination as they have watched him on a number of occasions this term.

Jurgen Klopp is targeting more attacking quality and the fact the Giallorossi may be forced to sell to balance the books could see the Anfield outfit land him for a reasonable fee.
