Liverpool could be about to make a surprise move for Leicester City midfielder Wilfried Ndidi.

The Reds have been unsuccessful in many of their attempts to secure a new defensive midfielder.

Per The Independent, manager Jurgen Klopp and his staff are assessing whether Ndidi could do a job for the team.

The anchorman had a tough season last term, struggling as his side were relegated from the Premier League.

However, Ndidi was highly rated prior to that campaign, which would explain the Reds' interest in him.

Liverpool's ideal target may be out of their price range in Crystal Palace's Cheick Doucoure.
