Liverpool are monitoring the midfielder Piotr Zielinski, who is on loan at Empoli from Udinese, with a view to a possible summer deal.

The 21-year-old has 11 Poland caps and is hoping to be selected for Euro 2016. He made one appearance during the qualifying campaign, as a substitute against Gibraltar, but was involved in the match-day squad on other occasions.

Zielinski scored in a 2-2 draw against Milan in his most recent game for Empoli, who have borrowed him for a second straight season from Udinese.

He was given his breakthrough at Udinese by Francesco Guidolin, who this month was appointed as Swansea City’s head coach.
