Just three points separate Liverpool from Manchester United in third place in the Premier League. Liverpool currently would fall short of qualifying for the Champions League next season.

Jeremy Jacquet's signing for Liverpool is already sealed. Liverpool are among three clubs gearing up to compete for Eli Junior Kroupi, according to reports in France. An impressive start for Kroupi has sparked suggestions it might require as much as £80 million for Bournemouth to relinquish him.

Kroupi's form has caught the attention of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, according to Telefoot. Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are expected to compete with Liverpool for Kroupi's services.
