Liverpool have earmarked Wolves winger Diogo Jota as a potential transfer target this summer, claims the London Evening Standard.
Jurgen Klopp is keen to bolster his offensive options to ease the burden on Mo Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.
Liverpool have already been linked with a move for Watford's Ismaila Sarr but the Reds are opposed to his £36m valuation.
The Premier League champions are currently in talks to offload 18-year-old defender Ki-Jana Hoever to Wolves in a £10m deal opening up discussions for Jota.
Jota, 23, has spent the last two years with Wolves and completed a permanent switch from Atletico Madrid in January 2018 in a deal worth €13m.

The Portugal international has formed a superb partnership with Wolves striker Raul Jimenez but did not start their league opener and missed out in the cup in midweek.
Jota scored six goals in Wolves' Europa League campaign last season, both through hat-tricks.
Moreover, only there were only five hat-tricks scored in total in the competition, with Jota responsible for two of them.
