According reports from A Bola, the Reds are close to signing the Porto attacking midfielder Yacine Brahimi.

The Reds have already secured the services of Loris Karius in the summer and now looks like they are ready to snap up another player who has a £45.7 million release clause. Jurgen Klopp has transformed the team already post his arrival at Anfield and is reported to be interested to add some more attacking option to the team. Moreover Brahimi is likely a suitable replacement for Mario Gotze who seemed to have snubbed Liverpool and decided to stay back at Bayern Munich.

The 26 year old has played two seasons in Portugal and has scored 21 goals during his tenure. Liverpool has felt the drought of their strikers as Sturridge spent most of his time in the infirmary and Benteke out of shape. Klopp is carefully choosing players who can contribute considerably next season and Brahimi seems like a good choice.
