Reports are out claiming that Liverpool are stepping up interest in Sporting CP midfielder William Carvalho.
Reds chiefs had Carvalho, 22, watched in Sporting’s 3-0 defeat to Porto on Sunday.
Angola-born Portugal international Carvalho is also on Arsenal and Manchester United’s radars.
The Mirror says Liverpool are turning to Carvalho after being priced out of a deal for AS Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic.
