Liverpool are interested in signing Lorient left-back Raphael Guerreiro, Goal understands.

The 22-year-old, who can also play on the left side of midfield, has helped the French side into the top half of the Ligue 1 table and earned his first cap for Portugal late in 2014.

They have monitored Guerreiro's progress and the player is well known to Jurgen Klopp, who followed him when he was the manager of Borussia Dortmund.

"Raph has a contract [until 2017]," a source at Lorient told Goal. "We are very happy with him and he remains involved in the club project."
