According to Mirror Football, Liverpool are prepared to sell promising striker Jerome Sinclair for £3million; whilst BBC Sport report that Chelsea defender Papy Djilobodji has completed a loan move to Werder Bremen.
Sinclair is the youngest debutant in Liverpool history and rated as one of the club’s most exciting youngsters – recently finding the net in an FA Cup outing against Exeter City. But talks to extend his contract past the end of the season have stalled and he now looks set to leave the Anfield outfit.
Manchester City have been tipped to swoop in the summer but Watford are keen to strike a deal this month – which could also better suit Liverpool, rather than letting the 19-year-old join a top six rival for a compensation fee decided by a tribunal.

Likewise, if the teenager were to agree pre-contract terms with a foreign club, the Merseysiders would only be entitled to £200,000 as it would count as an international transfer.
According to Mirror Football, the Reds want £3million if they’re to sell Sinclair this month. Along with Watford, fellow Premier League outfit Bournemouth are interested.

Meanwhile, BBC Sport report that Papy Djilobodji has completed a loan move to Werder Bremen.
The 27-year-old centre-back joined the Stamford Bridge ranks last summer after the Blues missed out on Everton’s John Stones but managed just one appearance across all competitions – a 93rd-minute substitute outing in the Capital One Cup – during the first half of the season.
The Cameroon international, whose Blues contract expires in summer 2019, will now spend of the rest of the campaign with Werder Bremen. They’re currently third-bottom in the Bundesliga.
Why don’t Watford use their sister club Udinese to agree a pre-contract with Sinclair then once he signs for them in the Summer for a nominal £200k fee he can move on loan to Watford. Saving the Pozzo Family £2.8m.
Simples!
That’s actually genius
