Liverpool are going cold on Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Manu Kone.

The Reds have been eyeing the Gladbach youngster ahead of the summer market.

But Sky Deutschland's Florian Plettenberg is reporting: "Koné: Been told a transfer to #LFC is very unlikely. Yes, he's on a shortlist because of his interesting profile but not a hot transfer target for Liverpool at this stage.

"For M'Gladbach he's still a top candidate for sale. But no concrete offers yet."
