With just a month remaining before the opening of the January transfer window, there's plenty of gossip swirling about who's moving where. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
TOP STORY: Morocco's Amrabat on Liverpool radar
Liverpool are among a number of Premier League clubs keeping a close eye on Morocco midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, according to Sky Sport Germany.
The 26-year-old holding midfielder has been a standout performer at the World Cup for the Atlas Lions, who secured qualification to the knockout stages and will next face Spain in the round of 16.
While negotiations are yet to take place over a potential deal, it is reported that he would be willing to leave Fiorentina if an agreement over a transfer fee was reached. His valuation is believed to be in excess of €30 million, with Amrabat considered a key player by the Viola.
He is under contract until the summer of 2024, so the Serie A club could dismiss interest in his signature when the January transfer market opens -- but would probably have to look for a deal in the summer if hasn't signed an extension.
Amrabat looks to be the latest midfielder added to Jurgen Klopp's shortlist as Liverpool continue their search for reinforcements, with Jude Bellingham of Borussia Dortmund and Moises Caicedo of Brighton & Hove Albion also being monitored.
