Liverpool plotting January move to sign 25-year-old Belgian with £26m release clause

Jurgen Klopp is plotting a January move to sign Thorgan Hazard, according to Liga Financial (h/t Mirror).

The Belgian has been in great form for Borussia Monchengladbach this season with 11 goals and six assists.

The report claims that the 25-year-old younger brother of Eden Hazard longs for a return to Stamford Bridge, and has a release clause of £26million

Hazard is contracted with the Bundesliga giants till 2020, and the report adds that Manchester United and Everton are also interested in the Belgian winger.

Liverpool could do with some additional firepower in the second half of the season, and Hazard seems to be a quality option if we can sign him based on his release clause.

It would be tough for the attacker to start games from the go at Liverpool but having someone to cover Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah would be great.

The Liverpool duo has been incredible since joining the Reds and Klopp splashed a lot in the summer to sign the likes of Naby Keita, Fabinho and Alisson.

Xherdan Shaqiri was the only attack-minded player we got in the summer, and it will be interesting to see our activity in the winter window.
