Liverpool have made an unexpected bid for Stuttgart captain Wataru Endo and appear to be close to signing a third midfielder during the summer transfer window.
Liverpool has had a difficult week in the transfer market as the Reds failed to sign both Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, leaving them with limited choices for defensive midfielders to add to their lineup.
