That hasn’t dissuaded a host of other clubs from expressing interest in signing him, however.

Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal are all keen on securing his services for next season, with a transfer tussle set to ensue.

Jurgen Klopp will be in the market for a new striker with Daniel Sturridge set to leave at the end of the season and Divock Origi’s long-term future still in doubt.
