Liverpool interest in Jadon Sancho transfer 'confirmed' by former Red Dietmar Hamann

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Borussia Dortmund and England star Jadon Sancho next summer according to Dietmar Hamann.

The Champions League winner revealed there is 'great interest' from the Reds in the teenage talent who has lit up the Bundesliga with Jurgen Klopp's former outfit.

"What I hear is that Liverpool has great interest," Hamann told Sky Sports Germany.

"I would imagine that next summer they could become one of the biggest interested parties.

"He's from Manchester City and I do not know if he would come back again, and it's a thing for Manchester United, too, if they've ever been to the rivals."

Back in February, Klopp admitted Liverpool wanted to sign the England international before he made the £8million move from Manchester City in the summer of 2017.

When asked about asked about the recent trend of Bundesliga clubs recruiting from English clubs, the German coach explained: "Buying English players is a smart idea because we would never have a chance to get Sancho.

"We are not blind. We saw him, we liked him and then we think, 'Can we get him?' No, because English clubs don't sell to other English clubs.

"I don't know exactly what the reason is for that but they don't do it."
