Liverpool wish to wait before moving for Toulouse defender Mathieu Goncalves.

L'Equipe says Liverpool will not be raiding Toulouse in January for the signature of highly-rated defender Goncalves.

The Reds have run the rule over the Frenchman during his breakout campaign at the Ligue 1 side.

They will not, though, be rivalling Juventus for a deal when the transfer window opens in the new year.

Liverpool want to keep tabs on Goncalves' development for a full season and will therefore bide their time.
