REPORT -             Liverpool  FC are considering a move for Middlesbrough teenager Bilal Brahimi.

Brahimi, who joined Boro from Portuguese outfit Leixoes in 2017, made his first-team debut in the EFL Cup earlier this season, appearing as a substitute against Rochdale.

The 18-year-old has not seen since, though, according to TEAMtalk, Liverpool are preparing to swoop for the attacker, who has not been able to agree a new deal at the Riverside Stadium.

The report, however, has claimed that Jurgen Klopp';s side will face competition from Newcastle United for a player who has appeared on one occasion for France';s Under-19 side.

Brahimi - born in Paris - has scored once and contributed one assist in 13 Premier League 2 appearances for Boro';s Under-23 side during the 2018-19 campaign.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are reportedly facing a battle to prevent in-form attacker Sadio Mane from moving to Real Madrid in this summer';s transfer window.
