have been linked with his services, including Aston Villa, Newcastle United and Leeds United, as well as clubs in La Liga.

But Dortmund are set to test Liverpool's resolve with a permanent offer for the winger, who scored against them earlier on this summer in a pre-season friendly in America.

Klopp, who said to be looking out for a versatile winger before the summer transfer window shuts, spoke at the weekend about Ryan Kent, Wilson's team-mate on Merseyside, who is in the same situation as the Wales star.

The German boss said of Kent's time on loan with Rangers last term: “It helped a lot. He came back a completely a different player.

“It was a very important year. It helped, good club, good manager and means good competition.

“Exactly the right thing for him at the right moment.
