Jarrod Bowen on Liverpool shortlist as new transfer clues emerge
Liverpool interest in West Ham United forward Jarrod Bowen - which the club refused to deny - suggests spending is not complete in the summer transfer window.
Liverpool have made just one signing after agreeing a £36m deal with RB Leipzig for defender Ibrahima Konate.
A deal for Bowen could be difficult. He is young and English and Liverpool could be forced to pay well over the odds if they want West Ham to even consider selling one of their most prized assets.
Still, while the club remain adamant they would be willing to wait until next summer for the right opportunities to arise in the transfer market, links to Bowen show there is a desire to bolster Klopp's options as soon as possible.

Paris Saint-Germain eye £400m window of opportunity to leave Liverpool behind
The coronavirus pandemic has destroyed the finances of many of Europe's top clubs, but not for PSG.
The French side came into the pandemic fresh from lucrative commercial deals and combined with the wealth of their millionaire owners, they have been able to use the financial restraints placed on other clubs as a springboard.
PSG have signed Sergio Ramos, Gini Wijnaldum, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Achraf Hakimi this summer as well extending the contract of Neymar.
With these additions - and a potential new deal for Kylian Mbappe - PSG will increase their yearly outgoings on wages to near enough £400m, dwarfing Liverpool by around £55million.
Their aggressive summer recruitment drive, largely for proven performers who come with a track record of major domestic and international success, shows PSG mean business and are willing to push the boat out to achieve that goal.
For Liverpool, it will make the challenge of adding a seventh European Cup to their cabinet even more difficult given that PSG's state-based owners are able to hand them billions without consequence.
