James Pearce has ruled out Liverpool signing Lille's Sven Botman this month, after speaking to people at the club.
The 20-year-old has been linked with the move to Anfield, however, according to Pearce, the transfer is not going to happen any time soon.
“We can rule out Sven Botman,” he said
on the Red Agenda Podcast.
“People I spoke to were adamant there was absolutely no interest. I don’t go along with the idea that it is a smokescreen.”
Then the journalist added:
“Dayot Upamecano is, of course, someone on Liverpool’s radar but it is almost impossible to get him out of Leipzig this month.
“Kabak at Schalke has been looked at but it hasn’t gone any further than that.”
