Liverpool are prepared to wait to sign Watford attacker Ismaila Sarr.

Liverpool are working on a deal to sign Sarr in January, reports Football Insider.

The Sengalese forward has been linked with a move to the Reds since the season ended in July, but it could be another few months or so until Liverpool sign the 22-year-old.

Watford, who have been relegated to the Championship, are reportedly holding out for £40m for their record signing.

Sarr netted twice as he starred in Watford's shock 3-0 win over Liverpool - the Reds' first defeat of last season.
