Liverpool are considering bringing forward plans to sign Rennes attacker Jeremy Doku.

That is because star forwards Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are set to represent Egypt and Senegal respectively at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Daily Express says Reds boss Jurgen Klopp may now bring in Doku in January.

They state that the Merseyside outfit could accelerate their plans to sign the Belgium international, who they have been keeping tabs on since Euro 2020.

Liverpool are already believed to be in pole position to secure the services of the 19-year-old in 2022.

It is understood that the Ligue 1 outfit would be prepared to part ways with Doku should they receive a fee in the region of £38million.
