Daniel Pinder, the editor-in-chief of Get German Football News, has exclusively told This is Futbol that Stuttgart striker Sasa Kalajdzic could be an ideal fit for Liverpool.
Kalajdzic has scored 14 times and added five assists in 29 Bundesliga appearances this term, with his impressive numbers catching the attention of several Premier League sides.
Along with both West Ham and Merseyside rivals Everton, the Reds are reportedly interested in signing the Austrian international, who’s previously spoke about his love for the club by saying that Liverpool are “simply special” to him.

The Brazilian has scored just six times in 43 appearances in all competitions this term, with the Reds’ lack of goals one of the many reasons they could miss out on Champions League football.
Jurgen Klopp’s men scored 85 times in their title-winning campaign, and are a massive 30 goals short of that total with just five games remaining.
