Liverpool are reportedly monitoring the progress of Bournemouth forward Junior Kroupi ahead of a possible summer approach.

The Merseyside giants explored the possibility of landing Antoine Semenyo from the Cherries, but passed up on the opportunity.

Semenyo has since joined Manchester City. The Ghanaian has been a huge hit and recently opened the scoring in the win over Fulham.

Teamtalk claim that the Reds could do business with the Cherries once more, having signed Milos Kerkez from the club last summer.

Kroupi has emerged as a top target for the Anfield giants amid his fine start to his Premier League career. He has eight goals in under 900 minutes.

Liverpool are not alone in the race with Arsenal and Manchester United also keeping tabs on the Frenchman, who is primarily a striker.

Bournemouth are expected to hold out for at least £80 million to part ways with him and may not provide any discount on their price tag.
