Jürgen Klopp has indicated to Liverpool chiefs that he wants to sign Porto midfielder Ruben Neves, according to reports.

Aged just 18, Neves has been tipped for a huge future in the game, and has been strongly linked with a move to Chelsea, as well as Spanish duo Real Madrid and Barcelona.

But according to TMW, Liverpool have entered the race for the Portugal starlet, with Klopp making it clear that he’d like to see the player come to Anfield.

The mounting interest in Neves could see him leave Porto in January, although the Portuguese side are unlikely to accept an offer below the player's £29million release clause.

Neves has previously been likened to Sergio Busquets by former Barcelona winger Cristian Tello, who has of course played with the Spaniard at the Camp Nou.
