Sky sources understand that Sevilla have made contact with Liverpool over a loan move for Daniel Sturridge but boss Jurgen Klopp refused to confirm if an approach has been made for the England international.

"If there are any rumours, I am not aware of them but it is not important," said Klopp. "We will see what happens until January 31.

"We have a long and very decisive part of the season still to play. We need all of our players, we will see how it will be."
