Liverpool have been mentioned in the same breath as some phenomenal players of late.
Of course, the Reds are currently in danger of losing Mohamed Salah but the likes of Alexander Isak and Serge Gnabry have been tipped to potentially fill the offensive void.
What’s the word?
Well, the club have now been touted with possibly making a swoop for a certain Kylian Mbappe.
The Frenchman has been linked with Liverpool before but now there are fresh rumours suggesting a move could be on the cards.
That’s according to reports who suggest a club is ‘moving in the shadows’ to sign the elite PSG star.

It’s then claimed that it isn’t Barcelona but it could be title rivals Manchester City or Liverpool who are plotting a bid.
Mbappe isn’t currently rated at a whopping £144m by Transfermarkt but can be signed for nothing in the summer with his contract in the French capital expiring in a few months’ time.
Even better than Salah?
Mbappe needs absolutely no introduction.
Described as a “phenomenon” by Noel le Graet, French Football Federation President and as "another Thierry Henry” by Arsene Wenger, he is a player capable of starring on the biggest of stages and in the most eclectic of cauldrons in world football.
Time and time again we see the France international demolishing teams and if Liverpool can pen Salah to fresh terms, as well as signing Mbappe it would be special.
That said, it is evident that the latter possesses even more potential than their frightening Egyptian forward.
Salah is a classic late bloomer but as we can see from the Liverpool target’s 28 goals and 20 assists this season, he can certainly be classified in the same generational bracket.
What’s staggering is that despite the 23-year-old’s young age, he has still found the net on 160 occasions for PSG.
A tally of 26 goals for his country is also fine evidence of the mesmerising talent Mbappe has in his locker and should he join Liverpool, he may just dislodge Salah and become an even bigger hero in Merseyside.
Wouldn’t that be something?
