Liverpool are interested in signing the Spanish attacker, Jesus Rodriguez, from La Liga outfit Real Betis.
The 19-year-old has done quite well for the Spanish club last season, and his performances have attracted the attention of Aston Villa as well. According to a report from ABC, Liverpool are following the highly rated attacker, but they are yet to come forward with any concrete offer.
The player has a €25 million release clause in his contract, and he could prove to be a bargain at that price. He has the tools to develop into a top-class Premier League attacker with the right guidance. Liverpool need more depth on the flanks, especially with players like Luis Diaz linked with an exit.
The 19-year-old scored five goals and picked up four assists last season.

Liverpool have been overly dependent on Mohamed Salah and Diaz on the flanks. They need more depth in that area of the beach. The 19-year-old would be a future investment. The opportunity to join the Premier League champions will be hard to turn down for him.
Liverpool have the resources to pay the asking price as well, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
