Jurgen Klopp could return to his former club Borussia Dortmund in his search for a new forward, with Liverpool reportedly eyeing a move for Donyell Malen.
The Netherlands international joined the Bundesliga side in July 2021 from PSV Eindhoven and has impressed with his speed and eye for goal.
Malen is a former Arsenal youth player, who played for the Gunners at Under-18 and Under-21 level, and Bild reports that a return to England could be on the cards.

Klopp is said to be a fan of the 24-year-old since before his move to Dortmund and is interested in bringing him in as back-up for Mohamed Salah.
But the right winger is unlikely to go anywhere for less than €60 million (£52m) and his employers have him on a contract to 2026.
