Robin Le Normand

Would you like a brand new defensive name linked with Liverpool for a change? Oh go on then.

Well, TEAMtalk claim that Liverpool (and Manchester United) scouts have been left impressed by Real Sociedad centre back Robin Le Normand, who has a release clause of €50m (£43.5m).

Assan Ouedraogo

Meanwhile, Liverpool's chances of landing Schalke wonderkid Assan Ouedraogo have taken a hit, with the 17-year-old's management set for a meeting with (inevitably) Bayern Munich, according to Sky Germany's Florian Plettenberg.

The midfielder, likened to Xabi Alonso no less, has a release clause of between €7-20m (£6-17.5m), depending on various factors.

In even more disappointing news, it seems Liverpool is not an option for Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala.

Take that one with enough salt to melt all the snow off Mount Everest.

Andre Trindade

Football Transfers say that several Premier League clubs are planning to send scouts to the Copa Libertadores final to watch, among others, Liverpool target Andre Trindade. Anfield Watch has reported that the Reds will have priority in a January deal, if they want it.

Kalvin Phillips

Kalvin Phillips is likely not on the agenda for Liverpool this January, according to Fabrizio Romano, who has said he is 'unaware' of interest in the rarely-seen Manchester City midfielder.

Recent reports claimed the former Leeds man will be available for loan this winter.

Martin Odegaard

And finally, former Liverpool star Suso has claimed that Martin Odegaard 'stood out' during a week-long trial at Melwood back in 2014.

Ah, what might have been...
