Liverpool are heavily linked with Sardar Azmoun. Here is one of his goals for Rostov
The 21-year-old, who was linked with a move to the Reds’ rivals Everton last season, could be brought in as cover for the injured Danny Ings and African Cup of Nations-bound Sadio Mane.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admitted last week he might need to strengthen in January and may look to the youngster, who has also drawn comparisons to Zlatan Ibrahimovic during his time in Russia.

Azmoun became the first Iranian player to score in the Champions League in over 10 years this month, when he netted during Rostov’s 2-1 defeat to Atlético Madrid.
Largely due to his performances in the Champions League, the striker has also been the subject of interest from European heavyweights Olympique Marseille and Borussia Dortmund.
