Liverpool's chances of signing Leon Goretzka seemed to have been over, with Bayern Munich rumored to have completed a deal to sign the FC Schalke star. However, the Anfield club have been given a potential boost with Goretzka's club rebuffing all claims of a move to the Allianz Arena.

Displaying traits such as dribbling, long-range shooting, tackling and tactical discipline, Goretzka has clearly caught the eye of Reds boss Klopp, as well as a host of other clubs and would make a great replacement for his fellow country-man Can.

The 22-year-old German international wouldn't struggle to fit into the Premier League as well, thanks to his energy and physicality granting him an ability to play intense matches.

His future remains in the air with his Schalke contract expiring in the summer, meaning if Liverpool do succeed in the race to sign him, he would arrive as a bargain on a free deal.
