Nottingham Forest have reportedly made an ambitious enquiry but do not have the 'required stature' to pull off a move. Manchester United have also been in touch with Fofana's agents but are no longer believed to be progressing in talks.

Milos Kerkez's father has claimed that his son's prospective move to Liverpool is almost completed. The Reds have been heavily linked with signing the Bournemouth defender for several months. Liverpool are interested in signing Kerkez and have been stepping up their pursuit of the Hungary international over the last couple of weeks.

It is set to be a busy week for Liverpool, who are set to welcome Florian Wirtz to their Melwood training ground to complete a medical ahead of a club-record-smashing £116m move from Bayer Leverkusen.
