As reported by The Mirror, Liverpool are stepping up their interest in £18m-rated goalkeeper Nick Pope this summer, performing a serious of background checks to determine whether he has the mentality to make the step up to a top six side.

Currently on England duty at the World Cup in Russia, Pope has emerged as one of the most consistent shot-stoppers in the English Premier League after a storied career that has seen him rise through Conference and lower league football.

The 26-year-old is perhaps a less fashionable choice than the likes of Alisson, but he could be a top performer for Jurgen Klopp, who has done well giving chances to less illustrious names in recent seasons, to great effect.

As a result, fans are happy to see what he can offer Liverpool if he does sign, with some pointing to the transfer of Andy Robertson as proof that Klopp knows what he is doing.
