Empoli duo Piotr Zielinski and Leandro Paredes are on Liverpool's radar.

Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio says Liverpool sent scouts to watch the Empoli midfield pair on Sunday

Anfield spies were in attendance to cast an eye over the midfielders in the Italian side's 1-0 loss at Genoa.

A host of European clubs are said to be tracking both players but Liverpool are hopeful of winning the race for the pair.

Zielinski, 21, has scored three goals and made five assists in Serie A this season, while Paredes, 21, has netted twice and set up another.
