Citing reports from German publication Bild, The Daily Star claim Liverpool have launched an enquiry into the potential availability of German youth international, who has represented his country 42 times between the U16 and U21 age groups, ahead of their summer transfer window.

Sule recently expressed his interest in sealing a transfer to the Premier League, telling Bild; “England is sometimes appealing because the physical style of play suits me.”
Meanwhile, Mirror Football claim incoming manager Pep Guardiola will look to bring Bayern Munich midfielder Sebastian Rode with him to Manchester City during the summer transfer window, despite him being issued just two league starts by the Allianz Arena boss so far this season.
Indeed, competition for places in the Bayern squad remains fierce but Guardiola rates the 25-year-old highly and views him as one of the few players the Bavarians might be willing to do business over during the summer.
Mirror Football claim the £10million-rated star, formerly of Eintracht Frankfurt, could be included in a midfield revamp that will likely see Fernando and Yaya Toure leave the Etihad during the coming transfer window.
